Social Infra Tech Co., Ltd. is partnering with the KAIST Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation to promote blockchain-based digital transformation (DX) and smart infrastructure global expansion. Social Infra Tech announced on November 25th that it signed a business agreement with KAIST and established a collaborative system in areas such as AI/blockchain-based smart infrastructure research, smart agriculture and AI data trust technology development, joint exploration of domestic and international digital innovation projects, and training of global experts.
This agreement is significant in that it represents a strategic collaboration that combines KAIST's research capabilities with Social Infra Tech's blockchain-based data lifecycle integrity assurance technology to promote demonstration projects in various fields, including the public sector, international development, and smart cities.
The two organizations plan to expand research on AI- and blockchain-based cybersecurity and data governance technologies, as well as edge-AI-based smart agriculture solutions, the development of IoT urban infrastructure data verification technologies, and collaborative projects with foreign governments and international organizations. In particular, leveraging the KAIST Graduate School of Global Digital Innovation's overseas network, they plan to pursue demonstrations and commercialization in countries with high demand for digital transformation, such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.
To expand collaboration, the company will establish a joint research center, launch a global DX training program, expand overseas demonstration projects, and establish a foundation for industrial ecosystem cooperation. Through these initiatives, Social Infra Tech aims to strengthen its position as a trusted technology platform company encompassing the entire data lifecycle, encompassing research, demonstration, and commercialization.
Industry insiders are evaluating this agreement as a case study that simultaneously secures the potential for practical industrial application and global expansion from R&D. Amidst growing global demand for data reliability, digital sovereignty, and public infrastructure automation, the importance of blockchain-based infrastructure technology is also growing. Interest is also growing in the potential for Korea's digital innovation model to become an international standard.
Jeon Myeong-san, CEO of Social Infra Tech, emphasized that blockchain-based trust technology developed in Korea can be applied to global smart cities, agriculture, and public services, and expressed his intention to accelerate securing, verifying, and commercializing global DX standards together with KAIST.
