DX Tourism New Industry Cooperation Center Launched
On August 29, 2022, the DSU LINC 3.0 Project Group held the inauguration ceremony of the DX Tourism ICC New Industry Creation Council of the Industry Cooperation Center (DX Tourism ICC) at the Centum Campus.
The work of the DSU LINC 3.0 Business Group’s Corporate Collaboration Center, under the DSU LINC 3.0 Project Group, consists of XR (eXtended Reality) content, CV (Creative Visualization) design, and DX (Digital Transformation) tourism. Systematic industry-university-research cooperation is also underway.
The DX Tourism ICC will further expand upon these by operating a customized program to nurture talents specialized in digital transformation-based tourism and cultural contents, through providing them with the opportunity to experience an industry-linked curriculum. It will also operate and support joint technology development.
About 30 industry leaders and professors from various tourism and IT-related companies, institutions, and academic departments were in attendance at the ceremony. The day’s events also included forming a New Industry Creation Council, introducing companies, presenting topics related to tourism data, and discussing strategies for promoting industry-university joint technology development projects in the tourism sector. Seong-eun Hee, head of the DX Contents ICC Center, said, “This center aims to nurture talents for convergence of digital tourism contents and to advance technology innovation.
Together with the New Industry Creation Council, we will contribute to innovation in local industries through continuous collaboration among regions, industries, schools, and research institutes.” Hwang Ki-hyeon, head of the DSU LINC 3.0 Project Group, said, “Through the New Industry Creation Council, we will establish a leading model for industry-university research cooperation reflecting the characteristics of DX tourism.
