South Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups has highlighted four upcoming training sessions and seminars scheduled from mid-November through early December, covering practical applications of generative artificial intelligence, environmental and corporate sustainability policies, and smart factory development.
AI training targets businesses in Daegu and North Chungcheong
Two programs will focus on helping businesses incorporate generative AI into everyday operations. In Daegu, a two-day course scheduled for Nov. 23-24 will serve social economy enterprises — businesses that combine commercial activities with social objectives. The training will explore ways to reduce administrative workloads using generative AI, with an emphasis on moving beyond simple question-and-answer tools toward AI systems capable of carrying out assigned tasks and handling workflows more independently.
A separate hands-on program in North Chungcheong province is scheduled for Dec. 3. Organized by the Chungbuk branch of the Korea Federation of SMEs and Startups' innovation center as part of the K-High Tech Platform initiative, the fourth session will teach company employees, job seekers and other participants how to apply tools such as ChatGPT to practical business tasks. The program is designed around exercises that participants can use in their workplaces.
National online seminar examines product repair policies
The Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute will hold its 44th ESG ON seminar online on Nov. 18. The monthly series shares developments in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices and examines possible directions for the field.
This session will focus on global repairability policies and strategies for extending product lifespans in industry. Because the seminar is online and open to participants nationwide, it offers an opportunity for people interested in product durability, repair and sustainability policy to follow the discussion.
Busan prepares companies for 2027 smart factory support
Busan Techno Park will host an information session and technology seminar on Nov. 25 for companies interested in the city's 2027 smart factory construction support program. The event is intended for both businesses planning to introduce smart factory systems and companies that supply related technologies and services.
The session will provide information about the upcoming support program and its associated technologies, giving participating businesses an opportunity to prepare ahead of the 2027 initiative.
Registration and other upcoming events
Applicants for the North Chungcheong generative AI course should pay particular attention to registration deadlines. Each course has a limited number of places, and applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Organizers warn that registration may close early.
Other events listed in the ministry's Bizinfo public events calendar include a startup legal consultation session in Jeju on Nov. 17, an organizational culture program for human resources managers and CEOs from Nov. 20-24, a corporate innovation forum in Busan on Nov. 23, and overseas business development training for the water industry in Seoul on Nov. 25.
The four featured programs offer different opportunities for companies and professionals: practical AI training in Daegu and North Chungcheong, a nationwide online discussion of repairability and product longevity, and advance preparation for Busan's smart factory support program.
