The Ministry of Science and ICT said it held government-to-government dialogues and roundtables around Quantum Korea 2026 to discuss cooperation. It reviewed existing programmes with Canada, discussed links between initiatives with Britain, and talked with the EU about Horizon Europe participation and stronger ties among quantum clusters.

South Korea has built high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure in Indonesia that can be used to train large-scale artificial intelligence models and analyse massive datasets. The Ministry of Science and ICT and the foreign ministry said an opening ceremony was held for the facility built by KISTI and Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency under a Korea-ASEAN digital cooperation project. The programme runs from 2024 to 2028 with $10 million in funding.
