Gangwon to push for the project to promote development and commercialization of AI medical device
On September 28th, Gangwon State announced that it will begin full-scale implementation of the "AI-Based Medical Device Development and Commercialization Promotion Project" to lead the AI-powered medical device industry.
The initiative is designed to foster the AI medical device industry as a new growth engine for Gangwon by linking it with bio-industries, which are candidates for regional growth engines.
The province has worked with the AI Industry Promotion Committee, local software and medical device promotion organizations, and universities to develop a plan worth a total of KRW 580 billion, consisting of 18 sub-projects across four major areas.
Key objectives include the creation of infrastructure for core technology research, commercialization technology development, technology verification and validation, global expansion, and talent development.
The goal is to establish a comprehensive ecosystem that supports the entire process from research and development to validation, certification, and commercialization.
By early next year, the province plans to prepare an in-depth planning report and push for the designation of the "Gangwon Medical AI Leading District," aiming to achieve exemption from preliminary feasibility studies and inclusion in government projects by 2027.
An official of Gangwon State said, "With this project, we will cultivate Gangwon as a leader in medical AI, enhancing corporate competitiveness through AI and data convergence, and promote the expansion of a digital specialized industry ecosystem."
