Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data company BituN has formed a consortium with extended reality (XR) technology company Vernect and AI semiconductor company Rebellion to embark on a digital cooperation project with the Mongolian government.
On the 19th, Bithumb announced that it signed a Joint Action Plan for AI-based digital administration cooperation with the Mongolia Customs General Administration (MCGA) in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, on the 13th. This cooperation was carried out as part of the 'AI-Semiconductor Overseas Demonstration Support Project' promoted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA).
The joint cooperation plan is a preliminary step for signing a formal memorandum of understanding (MOU) in the future, and both parties plan to utilize AI agent services and domestic AI semiconductor (NPU) infrastructure to promote digital innovation and trade process efficiency at the Mongolian Customs Service.
This agreement is an unusual case in which domestic companies have established a direct cooperation system with Mongolian government agencies, and it is evaluated as significant in that it goes beyond simple technology introduction and establishes a sustainable cooperation model in the digital administration field. The scope of cooperation is also likely to expand to digital ODA linkage and expansion to other countries in the future.
The signing ceremony was held at the Mongolian Customs Service building, and began with a welcoming speech by Deputy Director-General Enktaiban Gelegjamts, followed by a business introduction by CEO Lee Chang-hyun of Bituen, an announcement of the Mongolian Customs Service’s AI policy, a tour of the agency, and discussions on demonstration services. Approximately 100 people, including officials from the Mongolian Ministry of Digital Information and the European Union (EU), attended the event, and major media outlets, including the Mongolian National Broadcasting Corporation (MONTSAME), also covered the event.
“This agreement is an example of how domestic digital technology can be practically applied to international public administration,” said Lee Chang-hyun, CEO of BituN. “The cooperation with the Mongolian Customs Service has a meaning beyond technology exports, and will also open up possibilities for cooperation with various countries in the future.”
“The core role of the Korea Customs Service is to facilitate trade and manage risks,” said Ryu Ji-seon, head of the overseas business team at Bithumb. “Through this project, we plan to enhance the accumulated data and build an administrative system capable of real-time response to increase efficiency and accuracy.”
