The core of this project is to repurpose a building in Nongseong-dong, previously used as the Gwangju AI Startup Camp, to create a space where any resident can learn and experience AI, while also supporting the growth of local AI startups.


Under this agreement, the two organizations have agreed to cooperate on detailed building safety inspections and facility maintenance, the creation of popup zones for AI companies and experience zones for lifestyle AI, practical training program operations, collaboration support between AI companies and startup teams, and the promotion of the "NaraOn" project for youth and senior participation.


Seo-gu plans to complete follow-up administrative procedures, such as facility usage agreements, and will establish space functions and operational plans to gradually introduce AI education and experience programs, as well as startup support initiatives, beginning in 2027.
