Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will sign a “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Establishment of a Language Data Research Center and the Sharing and Utilization of Multilingual Language Data” today (24th) at 2:00 PM in the International Protocol Room at City Hall, together with Busan University of Foreign Studies and Busan Technopark.

The signing ceremony will be attended by Mayor Park Heong-joon, Jang Soon-heung, President of Busan University of Foreign Studies, and Kim Hyung-kyun, President of Busan Technopark, who will sign the agreement.

This agreement has been prepared to establish a data-driven cooperation framework by integrating the marine and urban data held by the city with the multilingual language data of Busan University of Foreign Studies and the industrial data of Busan Technopark, while also strengthening the practical capabilities of local talent.

Under the agreement, the three institutions plan to expand cooperation in various areas, including the sharing of multilingual language data, the implementation of joint projects through the Big Data Innovation Center, and the establishment of a government–industry–academia–research governance system, as well as the joint planning of new regionally specialized projects.

The city also plans to open specialized data held by universities to external users through an integrated data platform, thereby fostering Busan as an optimal hub for global data business.

Busan University of Foreign Studies will support corporate data utilization and language learning by opening its multilingual language data and will participate as a presenting organization in the city’s “Data Challenge Project,” proposing multilingual-based tasks.

In addition, the three institutions will cooperate in operating a government–industry–academia-linked “Problem-Based Learning (PBL)” curriculum aimed at solving corporate challenges, promoting education that connects theory with practice, and jointly identifying new regionally specialized projects.

Through this agreement, the city expects to strengthen data convergence and cooperation among institutions, enhance the utilization of data by local companies, and contribute to revitalizing the data industry ecosystem by fostering skilled professionals who meet on-site demand.

Mayor Park Heong-joon stated, “I would like to express my gratitude to Busan University of Foreign Studies and Busan Technopark for joining us in fostering global talent and building the foundation that will lead Busan’s future,” adding, “The convergence of Busan’s marine and urban data, the multilingual language data of Busan University of Foreign Studies, and the industrial data of Busan Technopark will serve as the basis for creating new business opportunities. We will do our utmost to enable Busan to leap forward as a global digital economy city.”
