Jipyung LLC announced on the 23rd that it had signed a "Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Development of the Data Center Industry and Improvement of Laws and Systems" with the Korea Data Center Association at the Jipyung headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 22nd.

Through this agreement, the two organizations plan to strengthen cooperation in the following areas: responding to regulations and improving laws and systems related to the data center industry; conducting joint research and policy proposals; operating educational programs and holding seminars; responding to complaints and lawsuits that arise during the data center construction process; providing real estate development and financial advisory services; and identifying joint projects to vitalize the AI Data Center (AIDC) industry ecosystem.

Ji-Hong Kim, Chief Attorney at Jipyung, stated, "Data centers, a core part of AI infrastructure, are an area where various legal issues—including permits and licensing, electricity, site location, environmental, and safety matters—arise in a complex manner. Therefore, specialized and comprehensive legal support is more important than ever." Song Do-Young, Director of the AI-Infra Center at Jipyung, also said, "By leveraging the expertise of Jipyung’s AI-Infra Center, we will closely collaborate with the Korea Data Center Association to contribute to the healthy development of the data center industry and improvement of laws and systems, and provide substantial legal support for member companies' regulatory response and business risk management."

The Korea Data Center Association plans to use this agreement to help its member companies respond more effectively to a range of legal issues encountered during the construction and operation of data centers—such as permits and licensing, electricity, site location, environmental, and safety matters. The association will also continue to pursue improvement of laws and systems, along with policy proposals that reflect the views of the industry.
