This event brought together local industry, academia, and research institutes to share the year's achievements in the digital (AI) sector and to strengthen the foundation for collaboration and the concentration of capabilities in the digital industry. The province hosted the event, and six organizations co-organized it: Gangwon Technopark, Gangwon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency, Wonju Future Industry Promotion Agency, Gangneung Science & Industry Promotion Agency, Gangwon ICT Convergence Research Institute, and Kangwon National University.

The opening ceremony took place at 1:00 p.m. on November 27, with over 300 participants including Governor Kim Jintae, ICT companies, software promotion agencies in Gangwon, universities, and local government officials, who gathered to discuss the direction of digital innovation in the province.

'Gangwon Digital Super Week' is significant as the first integrated event that consolidates various digital events, which were previously organized separately by each institution, to improve operational efficiency and amplify results.

Moving beyond a simple performance report, the event featured a variety of programs such as exhibitions of corporate achievements, lectures, seminars, and networking, thereby expanding the foundation for collaboration among industry, academia, research, and government. This year's theme, 'AX Future Industry Global City,' reflects Gangwon's vision to become a global innovation city leading future industries based on AI transformation (AX).

Starting with this event, the province plans to select a theme each year that reflects core policies and digital trends. This year, the event was held in Chuncheon, and in the future, it will rotate to Wonju and Gangneung, aiming to spread the atmosphere of digital innovation throughout the entire province.

Governor Kim Jintae stated, "If the United States has the Super Bowl, Gangwon Province in Korea has Digital Super Week," adding, "The province plans to promote this with a 3+3 strategy."

He continued, "While Chuncheon Gangwon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency, Wonju Future Industry Promotion Agency, and Gangneung Science & Industry Promotion Agency have each been actively working separately, there is now a need to share and integrate their efforts. Starting in Chuncheon this year and rotating to Wonju and Gangneung in the following years will create a synergy effect." He also emphasized, "The other three refer to companies, universities, and local governments, which must combine technology, talent, and policy to move forward together."
