SEOUL, March 10 (AJP) - SK Group has unveiled a new initiative aimed at accelerating digital transformation (DT) across its manufacturing operations, convening top executives from more than 20 affiliated companies, including SK hynix and SK Telecom.

According to industry sources, approximately 120 executives gathered last week at the Walker Hill Hotel in Seoul for the inaugural "SK Manufacturing Solutions Day," an event spearheaded by the recently established DT promotion team under the conglomerate’s SUPEX Council.

The initiative seeks to foster collaboration and standardize digital capabilities across SK Group’s diverse business portfolio, enhancing overall competitiveness.

"By continuously learning from and benchmarking best practices within our leading affiliates, we can drive collective growth," said Hong Kwang-pyo, head of the SUPEX Council's DT promotion team. "We intend to create regular forums for SK’s manufacturing affiliates to engage and collaborate."

During the event, SK Group’s management and economics research institute highlighted case studies from global industrial leaders such as Siemens, General Electric, and John Deere, underscoring the critical role of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and user-centric technological innovation.

SK hynix presented its evolution from automation to fully autonomous semiconductor fabrication plants, while SK Telecom showcased AI-driven manufacturing enhancements.
