Since 2017, the two national engineering academies have held annual workshops to foster academic, industrial, and technological cooperation in engineering. This year’s workshop will explore ways to connect technology, talent, and startup ecosystems, focusing on “Creative Computing”—the convergence of arts, design, and engineering—and next-generation IT innovation.

The keynote speeches will be delivered by Hyunil Son, Head of Krafton India, and Santanu Chaudhury, Vice President of the Indian National Academy of Engineering and Dean of Advanced Computing at Ashoka University. Mr. Son will compare the interactive media market in India with those in Korea and across the globe, and will introduce the growth prospects of the digital and gaming sectors.

Presentations and discussions will follow, covering topics such as the relationship between technology and the arts in the AI era, changes in creative environments, and IT innovation and global talent exchange between Korea and India. Experts from both industry and academia—including representatives from Microsoft, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and Mahindra—will participate to discuss cooperation strategies in future technologies and the startup sector.

The National Academy of Engineering of Korea plans to use this workshop as an opportunity to expand the expert network between the two countries in creative computing and next-generation IT, and to develop practical opportunities for technology and talent exchange.
