The company's precious intention to create a world where everyone is together through warm technology is bringing hope and inspiration to many.

Pusan National University (President Choi Jae-won) announced that CNP (CEO Park Kyung-min) donated 100 million KRW to the university headquarters on the 23rd.

CNP is a company that develops core technologies for visual assistive devices such as electronic magnifiers and image processing, exporting to 26 countries including the United States, Europe, and Japan. In Korea, it operates offices and research centers in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and Centum City, Haeundae-gu, Busan, and has been designated as a global small giant company and a leading company in the bio-health sector.

This fund was donated to support technology, education, and policy research for marginalized groups such as the disabled and the elderly. CNP explained that it selected universities with excellent comprehensive research capabilities in engineering, medical, education policy, law, and administration fields, including Pusan National University and Yonsei University, as donation universities with high social contribution.

On this day, Park Kyung-min, CEO of CNP, said, “Due to the rapid ultra-aging phenomenon, technology for the disabled and elderly is not just for special groups but necessary for everyone and especially essential for beloved family members. However, there is still a regrettable lack of social awareness. In particular, I hope that warm research that can help socially vulnerable people not only in Korea but globally will emerge from Pusan National University, which represents Busan, the city most severely affected by ultra-aging.”

Choi Jae-won, President of Pusan National University, expressed gratitude, saying, “CNP’s development fund symbolizes the cooperation between a company and a university fulfilling social responsibility beyond simple financial support. We appreciate this valuable donation and will do our best to support researchers in related fields to improve the quality of life for marginalized groups and to produce meaningful outcomes.”
