Symposium Concept

In recent years, information communication infrastructure with mobile networking such as 5G has played an extremely important role in social and economic activities, as well as in maintaining human life. As the convergence of cyberspace and physical space advances, next-generation cyber infrastructure including Beyond 5G/6G, which incorporates computing and information communication, will become the social infrastructure providing "lifeline of humanity."

This symposium aims to bring together leading industries to discuss the future of industry-academia collaborations and international cooperation necessary for resolving social and industrial challenges. The collaborative research institute of NGCI, Next Generation Cyber Infrastructure, the organizer of this symposium is committed to research, development, and implementation of next-generation cyber infrastructure as "lifeline" as well as to international human resource cultivation.
