Gyeonggi Province is pursuing links with the opening of the nation's first defense AI transformation (AX) hub in Pangyo.
Its goal is to connect private-sector AI technologies with military field demand, and it is promoting the creation of a civil-government-military physical AI cooperation ecosystem.
Gyeonggi Province plans to work with the Ministry of National Defense, the Army, and the hub's operating institution to expand technical cooperation between AI and robotics companies in the province and the military, while also supporting the civilian use and commercialization of verified technologies.
Gyeonggi Province is pursuing links with the opening of the nation's first defense AI transformation (AX) hub in Pangyo. The province's goal is to connect private-sector AI technologies with military field demand. To that end, Gyeonggi Province is promoting the creation of a civil-government-military physical AI cooperation ecosystem.
Gyeonggi Province recently attended the opening ceremony for the 'Defense AX Hub' and outlined support measures linked to its strategy for fostering the physical AI industry. The Defense AX Hub is being led by the Ministry of National Defense. It is based on an AI infrastructure that can safely utilize defense data.
The Defense AX Hub is a space that supports joint research and demonstration among the military, companies, universities, and research institutes. The Pangyo Army AX Hub is the first of 5 hubs nationwide to open. Ajou University is in charge of the joint research and development. The Pangyo hub's specialized field is physical AI.
At the Pangyo hub, research and demonstration will be conducted on building virtual battlefield environments and training and verifying robot and AI models, with the goal of developing technologies that can be applied on defense front lines. The hub has a 'safe zone' where defense data can be used, and the 'safe zone' can be accessed by authorized participants. It also has research infrastructure such as GPU, supporting private companies in developing defense AI.
Gyeonggi Province plans to connect companies in robotics, autonomous driving, semiconductors, and cloud computing clustered in Pangyo Techno Valley. The functions to be linked are the hub's research and demonstration activities. The focus is on verifying private companies' technologies tailored to military demand and connecting R&D outcomes to practical demonstration and commercialization.
To that end, Gyeonggi Province will carry out the project in cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense, the Army, and the hub's operating institution. Through this, the province aims to expand technical cooperation opportunities between AI and robotics companies in the province and the military. It also plans to promote the connection between physical AI R&D and demonstration efforts and the province's industrial infrastructure.
Gyeonggi Province plans to support the civilian use and commercialization of technologies verified in the defense sector. It will also review links between the physical AI diffusion center it is pursuing in the province and the Pangyo Defense AX Hub. The province intends to build a civil-military technology circulation cooperation structure that spreads technologies verified in defense settings to industrial sites and reapplies technologies developed in the private sector to defense fields.
Gyeonggi Province Economic Vice Governor Joo Hyung-chul said Pangyo is the optimal hub for connecting private-sector AI technologies with defense demand. He added that the province will support the Defense AX Hub so it can serve as a cooperative platform linking technology development, demonstration, and commercialization.
