내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Park Heong-joon, announced that it will hold the Digital Transformation (DX·AX) Forum tomorrow (June 9) at 1:00 p.m. at the Busan Big Data Innovation Center (45 Centum dong-ro, Haeundae-gu).

The event is hosted by Busan Metropolitan City and jointly organized by Busan Techno Park, Amazon Web Services (AWS), MegazoneCloud, and the Korea Software Industry Association (KOSA). It has been arranged to introduce the latest trends and successful use cases in big data utilization to the region through collaboration with leading global enterprises.

The forum will focus on strategies for converting the vast amounts of data held by businesses into tangible business value. Going beyond the simple adoption of new technologies, the program consists of five sessions that demonstrate how data generated in operational environments can be collected and analyzed to drive workplace innovation and manufacturing intelligence.

In the session “From Stored Documents to Actionable Insights,” AWS Solutions Architect Jung Ji-gang will demonstrate how Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) can extract meaningful information from large volumes of previously underutilized unstructured document data and maximize operational efficiency.

In the session “Intelligent Connectivity for Physical AI,” Jang Jae-young, Director at MegazoneCloud, will share real-world examples of how next-generation IoT sensors can collect and connect massive amounts of physical data from industrial sites in real time and apply them to business operations.

In the session “Building the Intelligent Factory: Start Small, Scale Smart,” AWS global speaker Reshmi Roy will present a smart factory data strategy that incrementally collects and analyzes manufacturing process data, enabling organizations to begin on a small scale and expand progressively.

In the session “Current Status and Response Strategies for Work AX in the Era of Workplace Innovation,” Jeon Tae-jin, Branch Manager of IP NOW, will assess the current state of data-driven business environments and present practical strategies for responding to ongoing changes.

In the session on government support for data utilization, Ha Gi-mok, Team Manager at the Korea Software Industry Association (KOSA), will provide detailed guidance on government support programs for the manufacturing sector to help regional manufacturers successfully achieve digital transformation through data.

The forum is open free of charge to all citizens and business representatives interested in big data utilization and digital transformation.

Those wishing to attend may register in advance either through the QR code provided on the event web poster or through the registration page on the Busan Big Data Innovation Center website at https://www.dxchallenge.co.kr/events/2026-dxforum-1. On-site registration will also be available on the day of the event.

Busan Metropolitan City expects the forum to facilitate the sharing of global best practices in data utilization with regional industries, promote smart manufacturing and business process innovation based on operational data, and support local companies in transitioning to data-driven decision-making systems.

Kim Dong-hyun, Director General of the Future Technology Strategy Bureau, stated, “This forum provides an important opportunity for businesses to explore with global leaders how vast amounts of accumulated data can be transformed into valuable insights and applied to real-world business operations. We expect it will significantly help regional industries strengthen their practical innovation capabilities through the use of data and cloud technologies.”
