The Widen Tower, set to host the opening of the Sogang-Pangyo Digital Innovation Campus in July, is located in Seongnam City [SEONGNAM CITY GOVERNMENT].
On Tuesday, Seongnam revealed that the Sogang-Pangyo Digital Innovation Campus of Sogang University will commence operations in early July, offering courses focused on artificial intelligence and semiconductors.
The campus will use the third to sixth floors of the Widen Tower building in Sujeong District, Seongnam, covering over a 10,279 square meter (110,642 square feet) plot of land.
Programs in AI and system semiconductors will be taught at the center, with the university and Korea Fabless Industry Association collaborating to develop industry-focused courses. Some classes for the university's Master of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management and Technology will be taught on the campus as well.
A work force development program for those working at AI and system semiconductor companies will also open around end of year.
The campus will host the Sogang AI Open Innovation Center, where the university will conduct AI research and offer support programs for AI startups.
The campus will similarly be accessible to local residents who are not part of Sogang University.
Before the campus officially opens, Seongnam will start taking applications in June for a vocational training program aimed at Gyeonggi residents. This program will take place at the newly established campus.
