National Robot Test Field Innovation Project is a 7-year large-scale national governmental project running from 2023 to 2029 with 300 billion KRW as total project cost, and it serves to create new markets for service robots and promote commercialization. It will create an environment that moves on from the existing robot industries to ‘service robot’ industry, which is closer to our daily lives. By promoting the advancement of such industry, we are putting our efforts into building an establishment for the city of Daegu to become the core site of robot technologies and mass production.

The robot revolution continues. During COVID-19 pandemic, physical contacts between humans reduced drastically and the way people work is also being greatly influenced. However, the velocity of digital transformation is accelerating in a more rapid pace, and robots are at the center of such shift. We strongly believe that ‘Daegu Global Robot Business Forum 2024’, hosted by the city of Daegu and organized by REPA and GRC, is a place to understand the international trends of the robot industry and discuss strategies to improve the domestic robot industry’s competitiveness to create new robot markets and enter global robot markets. Through such movement, we are confident that the forum will be a place for the city of Daegu to present a vision to lead Korea’s robot industry as the center of the global robot industry.

Finally, Global Robot Cluster promises to do our best to make the city of Daegu as a mutually beneficial robot city, a smart industry city, and a city where humans and robots harmonize.
Thank you.
