Kumoh National Institute of Technology and Lam Research Korea to Nurture Future Semiconductor Talent

Responding to the Era of AI and Advanced Semiconductors
Promoting Educational and Research Collaboration and Nurturing Practical Talent

Kumoh National Institute of Technology (President Kim Sangho) and Lam Research Korea have agreed to cooperate to nurture talent and promote industry-academia collaboration for the future semiconductor industry.

On June 4, Kumoh National Institute of Technology signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Lam Research Korea at the university headquarters, agreeing to pursue joint cooperation in various areas, including educational and research collaboration, nurturing practical talent, and supporting startup development.

This agreement was established to systematically cultivate practical talent required in the industry, in response to the growing demand for AI and advanced semiconductor technologies.

The two institutions plan to strengthen education and research based on industry-academia collaboration and to expand field-oriented educational opportunities, joining forces to foster talent that meets industrial needs.

In particular, by linking with the industrial ecosystem of the Gumi region, where many of Lam Research's partner companies are located, the partnership is expected to help discover outstanding talent outside the metropolitan area and enhance the competitiveness of the regional semiconductor industry.

Park Junhong, CEO of Lam Research Korea, stated, "We will actively contribute to nurturing future technology talent by strengthening cooperation with academia."

Kim Sangho, President of Kumoh National Institute of Technology, said, "We will do our utmost to provide students with practical educational and research opportunities and to nurture talent that can immediately contribute to the industry."
