The German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Korea (KGCCI, President Marie Antonia von Schönburg) announced on the 9th that it has signed a three-party Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Seoul Metropolitan Government Association for the Blind and the Office of the Visually Impaired (OAO) to collaborate on social contribution projects combining sports and technology and to hold the "Marathon for the Blind and Visually Impaired." The signing ceremony took place on the 3rd at the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Korea, and key officials from each organization were in attendance.
Through this agreement, OURSYMBOL, an integrated sports event platform developed by AOIO, will be introduced to the "12th Marathon for the Visually Impaired," to be held in June. The platform utilizes facial recognition and bib recognition technology, allowing participants to view and share photos taken during the event on-site. The three organizations will collaborate on all aspects of operations, including digital event registration, results notification, and data analysis, and plan to improve operational efficiency to facilitate participation for both visually impaired and non-disabled participants.
This agreement, a CSR initiative combining sports and technology, aims to raise awareness of disabilities and foster an inclusive social culture. The German Chamber of Commerce in Korea, the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Federation for the Blind, and AO intend to continue exploring sustainable models of social contribution cooperation based on sports events. Marie Antonia von Schönburg, CEO of KGCCI, stated, "We have created an environment where all participants can participate more conveniently. We will continue to expand our CSR activities with our member companies and partners."
