Hancom Inostream, a subsidiary of Hancom, said on Thursday it signed a memorandum of understanding with Hansung University to push the Seoul city Regional Innovation-Centered University Support System (RISE) project.

The agreement focuses on building an industry-academia-research cooperation-based education model to train job-ready digital talent by combining university education infrastructure with companies’ on-site practical data.

The two sides plan to design courses tailored to industry needs and introduce a "Digital Badge" certification system under which companies directly verify competencies, to improve the effectiveness of training.

The two sides will run practice-oriented curricula based on various education programmes held by Hancom Inostream, including generative AI, on-device AI and automotive software. They plan to include key skills demanded by industry, such as building AI agents by job category, ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2)-based robot control and future car software design.

Hancom Inostream CEO Choi Sung (최성) said, "I hope this cooperation will help underpin regional innovation-led growth through Hancom Inostream's AI and digital training capabilities." He added, "We will focus all our capabilities on training practical future talent needed by Seoul through practice-oriented courses and a certification system."
