BS Hanyang announced on the 10th that it has signed technology cooperation contracts with startups in a total of four institutional sectors through the '2025 Seoul Startup Hub Open Innovation' hosted by the Seoul Economic Promotion Agency.
Open innovation is a technology innovation program that links technology verification (PoC, Proof of Concept) to joint research and development and field application, in collaboration with startups holding innovative technologies as part of Seoul's startup support policy.
BS Hanyang began public recruitment in April and selected partner companies in four fields: ▲infrastructure ▲architectural technology ▲outsourcing ▲energy after about two months of review.
In the infrastructure sector, an AI-based automated rock mass evaluation system for tunnel excavation will analyze excavation data in real-time to simultaneously achieve safety accident prevention and improved evaluation efficiency. This technology is expected to be applied on a trial basis at the 'Gwangmyeong-Seoul road project' site starting this month.
In architectural technology, an AI-based CAD (Computer Aided Design) blueprint automatic recognition and quantity calculation solution will reduce existing manual errors and enhance work accuracy and efficiency. The outsourcing sector will predict international raw material price fluctuations based on its self-developed AI demand forecasting technology 'DeepFlow' and support the establishment of purchasing strategies.
In the energy sector, plans are in place to respond to changes in the renewable energy system through AI-based power generation forecasting and an AI bidding strategy auto-recommendation technology using historical bidding data, thereby increasing the efficiency of the power trading system.
BS Hanyang plans to focus on full-scale technology verification for each project from this month until September. Subsequently, it will review the applicability and commercialization of the technology through joint research and development and support efforts to lead to practical commercialization and attracting investments.
In October, there are plans to hold an internal event called 'BS AI DEMO DAY' to announce the results of collaboration and share actual application cases and achievements of open innovation across the organization.
A representative of BS Hanyang noted, 'Open innovation is an important opportunity for corporate innovation in the flow of digital transformation centered on AI technology,' and stated, 'We will continuously operate the open innovation program and actively introduce AI-based technologies to the field to strengthen future competitiveness.'
