First Implementation of AI Voucher Program Across All Industries
Published2020.03.16 08:32Recruitment of demand companies begins on the 16th, and for suppliers in April
Evaluation of specificity and feasibility of business plans utilizing AI
The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 16th that it is launching an 'AI Voucher' support program for small and medium-sized enterprises, venture companies, and startups looking to adopt AI technology, enabling them to utilize AI solutions and services.
Through this project, the Ministry of Science and ICT plans to provide support of up to 300 million won per company, and it will be implemented in a manner where companies wishing to apply AI technology (demand companies) purchase products from companies providing AI solutions or services (supply companies).
For this project, starting March 16, we are recruiting suppliers from among small and medium-sized enterprises that are qualified to provide AI solutions or services and wish to participate.
The selection of demand companies will be conducted through an open call throughout April, and selected companies will be provided with vouchers worth up to 300 million won.
Companies requiring AI solutions select and utilize suppliers from a supplier pool to purchase and use customized AI solutions.
In addition, AI experts [find] AI suppliers suitable for client companies We also plan to implement a consulting service that identifies and supports customized matching.
Companies wishing to register as suppliers for the AI voucher program or apply as demand companies can check the detailed announcement on the Korea Information and Communication Industry Promotion Agency website .
