Gumi City in North Gyeongsang Province is launching the 'Future Industry Technology Information Leader Training Program,' which focuses on practical case studies from large corporations. This initiative aims to help local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) respond proactively to the rapidly changing industrial environment and enhance their technological competitiveness.

Don't Miss the Technology Trends. Practical Training for Business Leaders in Gumi City Will Be Conducted.

This program is jointly organized by Gumi City and the Gumi Industry Technology Information Center (headed by Jo Geumwon) under the Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation of Kumoh National Institute of Technology. It will be held at GumiCo every Friday from July 4 to July 25, for a total of four sessions.

The training is targeted at CEOs and executives of SMEs in the Gumi area, and covers topics directly related to business management, including global industry trends, changes in government policy, technology and patent trends, and digital transformation strategies.

Notably, the program is not focused on theory, but rather on practical training based on strategies and real cases implemented by large corporations, providing insights that can be immediately applied in the corporate field.

The main speakers include Lim Yehun, Executive Director at LG Chem, who will speak on 'Trends and Implementation Cases in the Materials and Chemical Industry'; Jang Sungwon, Executive Director at Hanwha Aerospace, who will present on 'AX (Advanced Transformation) Strategies in the Defense Sector'; Kim Kanghoe, Deputy President of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), who will discuss 'Strategies for Building a Digital Transformation Foundation'; and Choi Heeyoon, President of the Korea Digital Wellness Association, who will lecture on 'The Future of Data-Based Industries.'

The city plans to grant additional points to companies that participate in at least three sessions of this training program when they apply for technology and commercialization support projects.

This support project offers practical benefits, including consulting, certification, and marketing support of up to 3 million won per company. As such, completing the training is expected to directly contribute to strengthening business competitiveness.

Companies can apply to participate in the training through the Gumi City Business Support IT Portal or the Kumoh National Institute of Technology website, and may also contact the Gumi Industry Technology Information Center for inquiries.

Kim Jangho, Mayor of Gumi, stated, "This program goes beyond simply providing information. It offers practical strategies for Gumi companies to stay ahead during this period of industrial ecosystem transition," adding, "I expect it will greatly help local companies improve their fundamentals and secure new growth engines."
