Gwangju Bank and Chonnam National University are collaborating to cultivate artificial intelligence talent.
On July 30, the two institutions signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at Chonnam National University to promote local AI talent development and support the university's designation as a national flagship institution.
As part of the agreement, they will implement four key programs, including internships for students, the establishment of a joint AI research center, customized training programs, and regular hackathons.
Chonnam National University is pursuing its designation as a national flagship university under the Ministry of Education's '2026 Package Support University Selection Plan,' while Gwangju Bank aims to contribute to the development of AI talent in the region and foster the AI industry ecosystem in Gwangju and Jeonnam.
The university has been selected as one of the Glocal Universities 30 and has set a vision for 'human-centered AI convergence talent development and research innovation.'
Gwangju Bank has established an AI Innovation Department to enhance its management system and innovate financial services based on AI.
Jung Il-seon, president of Gwangju Bank, stated, "The future of the region will be shaped by talents nurtured locally. Gwangju Bank will be a strong partner in Chonnam National University's journey to becoming a national flagship university, actively supporting local youth to grow into key talents in the AI field."
