The Seoul Metropolitan Government has announced an expanded partnership with Imperial College London to bolster its artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem, both domestically and in Europe. This agreement, signed at the British Embassy in Seoul, marks the culmination of three years of collaboration between the city's AI industry hub, Seoul AI Hub, and Canada's Mila AI institute.
At the signing ceremony, representatives from Imperial College London, including Vice-Provost for Research and Enterprise Mary Ryan, and Gareth Weir of the British Embassy, joined Seoul AI Hub officials in establishing a framework for joint research initiatives, technology commercialization efforts, researcher exchanges, and support for AI startups aiming to penetrate the European market.
The Seoul AI Hub's international collaborations began in 2023 with Mila, a Quebec-based AI institute founded by deep-learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio. Since then, the hub has facilitated 20 joint projects between Seoul-based AI startups and Mila researchers, covering a range of innovative applications from 3D facial modeling derived from single photographs to advancements in automation technologies.
