The government has drafted the science and technology budget at KRW 29.6 trillion for 2027. The science and technology budget is on track to rise from KRW 21 trillion in 2025 to KRW 23.8 trillion in 2026 and KRW 29.6 trillion in 2027. The government has set the direction of its science and technology investment restructuring around artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced technologies, and allocated the 2027 budget to AI transformation KRW 9.4 trillion, securing advanced technologies KRW 12.4 trillion, and balanced growth support KRW 900 billion.
Among these, the AI transformation budget will rise from KRW 5.1 trillion in 2026 to KRW 9.4 trillion in 2027, marking an 85% increase. This means AI has taken shape as a core pillar of the national R&D strategy.
Specifically, in the AI field, KRW 5.5937 trillion will be invested to secure top-tier AI models and technologies, and KRW 795.6 billion has been assigned to three mega-projects targeting AI data centers (AIDC), physical AI, and next-generation semiconductors. In addition, KRW 1.8611 trillion has been allocated to the AI transformation budget for robot AI, science and technology AX, and regional and industrial AX, while KRW 1.1707 trillion has been reflected as the AI-inclusive society budget, including AI talent and capability development.
