The Community Co-Prosperity Project aims to create a sustainable regional innovation ecosystem by fostering collaboration between Seoul City and local universities, sharing educational, research, and industrial resources, and addressing regional challenges to promote balanced development.

The Addressing Regional Issues Unit Project aims to realize a regional innovation model by connecting university expertise with local community challenges to find solutions together.

■ Proven Excellence in Fashion and Sewing Industry CollaborationThe northeastern region of Seoul (including Seongdong, Jung, Seongbuk, and Dongdaemun Districts) has built a solid industry-academia collaboration platform linked to the fashion and sewing industries, demonstrating strong capabilities in customized regional problem-solving.

■ Achievements through LINC 3.0 and HiVE ProgramsThrough initiatives such as LINC+, LINC 3.0, and HiVE, significant achievements have been made in projects like resource circulation, textile upcycling, and capstone design programs linked to local sewing companies.

■ Addressing Critical Issues in the Northeastern Seoul RegionThe sewing industry in this region faces complex challenges such as an aging workforce, lack of textile waste management, and labor mismatches, directly impacting both industry survival and regional economic sustainability.

■ Establishment of a University-District-Industry ConsortiumBuilding on existing capabilities, a consortium has been formed among Hanyang Women’s University, Hanyang University, Seongdong District, Dongdaemun District, and the Fashion Sewing Association to drive technological transformation, expand youth employment foundations, and enhance local brand competitiveness by promoting digitalization in the sewing industry.

■ High Volume of Textile WasteSeoul’s northeastern region produces an estimated 1 million tons of textile waste annually, yet lacks official statistics or a systematic database on waste generation, collection, and recycling.

■ Need for a Data-Driven Resource Circulation PlatformIt is necessary to develop AI-based visualization and analysis tools for textile waste trends by district, utilizing Hanyang University's technological capabilities to design data-driven upcycling strategies.

■ Addressing Labor Market MismatchesWith aging skilled workers and insufficient digital transformation, industry competitiveness is weakening. A customized AI-based job-matching platform will be built using Hanyang University's recommendation technology.

■ Contributing to Regional Economic VitalizationIt is critical to establish an integrated system linking training, certification, and employment matching for sewing technicians, enhancing professional skills and sustainable employment, and directly contributing to industrial revitalization and regional economic growth.

■ Vision : ESG Co-Prosperity in the Local Fashion and Sewing Industry through AI-DX Transformation

■ Strategic Goals : Identification and resolution of regional community issues, mutual growth with local fashion and sewing companies, and industry-academia talent development for the industrial field.

■ Consortium Members : Hanyang Women’s University (Lead Institution), Hanyang University (Participant), Seongdong District, Dongdaemun District (Local Governments), Fashion Sewing Association (Industry Partner)

■ Roles by Participant

• Hanyang Women’s University(Lead): Develop a database linking textile waste resource circulation processes with sewing certification programs, and strengthen the capabilities of sewing professionals through sustainable education initiatives.
• Hanyang University(Participant): Analyze textile waste data and develop and operate an AI-based job-matching platform.
• Support the revitalization of the local fashion and sewing industry by assisting small businesses at the Seongdong Smart Center through the provision of digital garment production systems, facilitation of fabric waste separation, environmental improvements, training programs, and job matching initiatives.
• Dongdaemun District(Local Government): Support the revitalization of small fashion and sewing businesses through the Dongdaemun Sewing Fashion Support Center and the Dongdaemun Fashion Sewing Complex Support Center by providing digital garment production systems, facilitating fabric waste separation, and promoting a sewing certification program to enhance capacity building and career redevelopment.
• Fashion Sewing Association(Industry Association): Support the attachment of tags and weight recognition for each designated bag at the textile waste discharge stage, enable identification of waste generators and verification of certified waste types and weights through RFID sensors with automatic data transmission, and promote the sewing certification career program to discover industry-demanded talent while providing integrated management support for certified individuals.

​The Seoul-Regional Sharing and Cooperation Activation Unit Project aims to establish a sustainable co-prosperity model and promote balanced national development by facilitating the sharing of education, research, and equipment resources in the semiconductor sector between universities in Seoul and regional areas.

■ Operate joint educational programs between Seoul (Hanyang University) and regional universities (Inha University, Jeonbuk National University) in three specialized semiconductor fields, training 150 students and fostering a robust semiconductor industry ecosystem.

■ Vision: Cultivate innovative DMA convergence leaders in next-generation semiconductors to drive growth in strategic emerging industries.
   * DMA: Design, Manufacturing, Application

■ Goal: Foster semiconductor convergence talent and establish an education-industry ecosystem through educational and research collaboration between Seoul and regional universities.

■ The three core strategic initiatives are as follows:

• Jointly operate semiconductor educational programs and promote credit exchange among universities. 
• Establish a collaborative system for sharing semiconductor research infrastructure and practical training equipment. 
• Enhance semiconductor education programs linked with industry needs and strengthen employment connections.

■ The detailed implementation tasks are as follows:

• Develop semiconductor DMA-specialized curricula and jointly operate micro-degree programs based on industry demand.
• Establish credit exchange systems among universities for specialized semiconductor fields (design, fabrication, packaging, etc.) and promote flexible academic systems.
• Operate online lectures and integrated online/offline learning using shared educational platforms.
• Expand the shared utilization of semiconductor research and practical training equipment (clean rooms, fabrication and measurement equipment, etc.).
• Operate joint semiconductor practical training centers between Seoul and regional universities.
• Introduce remote practical training and simulation-based educational programs.
• Expand industry-engaged projects, internships, and joint research programs.
• Promote industry-academia collaborative semiconductor R&D projects.
• Establish joint Seoul-regional employment support programs and semiconductor talent networks.

■ The infrastructure for sharing semiconductor-related facilities and equipment among universities includes:

• Smart Semiconductor Fab, Advanced Packaging Center, Semiconductor Clean Room, Semiconductor Education Building, Semiconductor Materials Research Institute, Semiconductor Design Education Center (IDEC), and Semiconductor Design Software (E-CAD, Cadence) etc.

■ Development and Operation of Inter-University Joint Educational Programs
