Joint Declaration of Cooperation Among Government, Industry, Academia, and Research on the 24th
Formalizing a Public-Private Safety Partnership
Ulsan City has embarked on building a "smart safety city" that systematically manages citizen safety using artificial intelligence technology.
The city's safety network is being digitally expanded, from accident prediction to real-time response.
On November 24 at 10:30 a.m., Ulsan City will hold a "Joint Cooperation Declaration Ceremony for the Realization of an AI-Based Safe City Ulsan" at the Jongha Innovation Center.
This declaration ceremony has been organized as a joint initiative between local government, industry, academia, and research institutions to enhance Ulsan's disaster response capabilities and industrial safety standards in line with the government's strengthened disaster safety policy direction.
With the recent increase in large-scale complex disasters and industrial accidents, there is a pressing need to shift from traditional manpower-centered responses to a scientific safety management system based on artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (AI·IoT).
Accordingly, Ulsan City is promoting an "AI-based smart safety city strategy" that reflects the region's industrial structure and characteristics.
In particular, through this declaration, the city will formalize the establishment of a sustainable public-private safety governance system involving local government, industry, academia, and research institutions.
Over 100 participants-including Ulsan Mayor Kim Dukyum, representatives from the University of Ulsan, institutions affiliated with the Safety Management Committee, local research institutes, universities, associations, and the Factory Managers' Council-will gather to pledge their commitment to disaster prevention and response innovation using AI and advanced technologies.
The declaration includes five key action items: ▲ Data sharing and technological cooperation for an AI-based disaster prevention system ▲ Establishment of an integrated management system for industrial complexes and public safety ▲ Promotion of safety culture and increased citizen participation ▲ Establishment of a permanent cooperation network among local government, industry, academia, and research institutions ▲ Securing global-level safety capabilities in preparation for an international event in 2028.
With this declaration as a starting point, Ulsan City plans to build an integrated online platform for AI safety data, conduct disaster prediction pilot projects, and implement intelligent (smart) safety management demonstration projects at industrial sites, aiming to establish a world-class urban safety infrastructure.
Mayor Kim Dukyum stated, "Today's declaration is both a promise to protect citizen safety and a new starting point for Ulsan's future," adding, "Based on AI and advanced technologies, we will create an intelligent (smart) disaster-safe city where both industry and daily life are secure."
On the day of the event, an exhibition space (booth) will be set up in the lobby, where local companies will showcase advanced technologies such as AI safety sensors, predictive analytics systems, and industrial safety online platforms.
