■ Project 1. Strengthening Global Competitiveness of Universities

① Leading Global Industry-Academia Collaboration

• Project Goal. Secure global core IP in national strategic technologies (energy, battery, semiconductor) and Seoul’s specialized industries (AI, bio), and generate outcomes with 10 born global startups.
• Additional Investment. Establish and operate overseas startup hubs and foster born global companies through joint overseas VC funds.

② Attracting Global Talent for Advanced and Future Industries

• Project Goal. Recruit 120 international master’s and doctoral students and establish the HY All-Care System to provide full-cycle support from admission to employment and settlement (utilizing 711 partner universities across 70 countries).
• Additional Investment. Completion of two new dormitory buildings for international students (603 rooms, accommodating 1,198 students) by April 1, 2025.

③ Enhancing Global Competencies of Future Talent

• Project Goal. Operate a global AI joint education program with the University of Texas at Austin (AI, Data Science) for 120 students, and provide internships with overseas universities and local companies (e.g., Uber, NVIDIA).
• Additional Investment. Support scholarships for exchange and international students through the Hanyang University International Foundation (based in LA) and launch new global AI exchange programs between international and domestic students to attract top talent.

■ Project 2. Enhancing the Foundation of Seoul’s Strategic Industries

④ Strengthening the Industry-Academia Collaboration Ecosystem

• Project Goal. Develop industry-demand-driven practical talents (in fields such as semiconductors, AI, and bio) and lead regional industry-academia collaboration by establishing three specialized RISE-ICCs (Corporate Collaboration Centers for Next-Generation Energy, AI Semiconductors, and Future Mobility) aligned with Seoul’s strategic industries.
• Additional Investment. Establish new specialized research institutes (AI, Defense, Quantum) to foster collaboration between the university and regional industries.

⑤ Expanding the Innovation Ecosystem for AI and Bio Clusters

• Project Goal. Foster specialized fields such as Physical AI at each university, build AI infrastructure in connection with the Seoul AI Hub (Yangjae), and expand the AI innovation ecosystem by supporting AI startups.
• Partner Institutions. 126 institutions such as Hyundai Motor Group’s ZER01NE

■ Project 3. Promoting Co-Growth with the Local Community

⑥ Solving Regional Issues

• Project Goal. Operate solution-driven projects to address excessive textile waste issues in local fashion and sewing industries (e.g., Seongdong-gu, Dongdaemun-gu), applying AI and data analytics to optimize fabric waste discharge, collection, and recycling processes.
• Upcycle Seoul. Promote fabric recycling projects and develop an AI-based job matching platform to support talent development and career management in Seoul’s sewing industry.

⑦ Promoting Seoul-Regional Sharing and Cooperation

• Project Goal. Foster 150 graduates by operating joint semiconductor curricula across three specialized fields through education and research exchanges between Seoul (Hanyang University) and regional universities (Inha University, Chonbuk National University), contributing to the development of the semiconductor industry ecosystem.
• Partner Companies. Collaborate with leading semiconductor companies — Teradyne Korea (USA), Advantest Korea (Japan), and Auditech (Korea) — through industry-academia projects.

⑧ Building the Seoul Future Talent Education Ecosystem

• Project Goal. Develop and operate Seoul-specific Neulbom School programs tailored to the city's regional characteristics and educational needs, promoting continuous learning and inclusive growth under the vision of "Seoul Neulbom with U.“
• Key Details. A consortium of five universities — Ewha Womans University (lead), Kookmin University, Seoul National University, Sookmyung Women’s University, and Hanyang University — has been formed. Hanyang University plans to leverage its strengths in engineering and technology to offer practice-oriented, creative-convergence Neulbom education programs. Focusing on the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Hanyang will develop science and technology curricula centered on AI, robotics, and coding, and collaborate with departments such as Educational Technology and Applied Art Education to design and operate Neulbom programs across diverse areas, including creativity and science, culture and arts, humanities and social sciences, and emotional development.

■ Project 4. Fostering University-Based Startups

⑨ Seoul Campus Town Development

• Call for Proposals Plan. Select universities through a separate call in the second half of 2025 to operate projects for two years starting from 2026.
• Selection Scale. 20 universities (project period: Jan 2026~Feb 2028; annual funding up to KRW 1.5 billion)
• Key Details. ▲ Establish youth entrepreneurship support systems centered on campus startups and linked to RISE (nurture 1,000 youth startup teams annually from 2025 to 2029, operate customized startup support programs by university, intensively support Campus Town Growth Centers, and provide follow-up scale-up support linked to the city's startup ecosystem), ▲ Expand entrepreneurship education (establish degree programs for startup talent and promote entrepreneurship culture programs)
