FREMONT, CA: During the first government meeting aimed at encouraging national human talent, President Yook Suk-yeol emphasised the significance of talent and human resources, distinctly in the area of science and technology. Stating further, he said that in the midst of the continuing fourth industrial revolution and the global digital power struggle, talent in science and technology is essential for survival. The Ministry of education will focus on advancing talent in areas like future and mobility, biotechnology, aerospace, digital technology, environment and energy, and advanced materials and parts.
A government initiative to recognise and assist specific universities outside of Seoul was revealed by the Ministry of Education. The government anticipates that these universities will serve as the cornerstone for nurturing talent and advancing efforts to achieve regional parity in the country. According to Yoon, there are examples of foreign cities that have successfully revitalised themselves by investing in cutting-edge sectors like IT, biotech, and design.
