MOTIE is currently selecting companies in nine industries including AI, touch-circuit, and autonomous vehicle sensors for fostering. It is planning to select 11 additional companies by 2021.

System Semiconductor Design Support Center is expected to strengthen the system semiconductor ecosystem. By providing an analysis and measurement infrastructure that evaluating the cost of implementing the designed chip as a prototype and whether the prototype is operating normally.

The government will also fully operate a system semiconductor fund of 100 billion won.

Minister Seong of MOTIE said. “We will strengthen the linkage between companies. So that Korea can leap into a system semiconductor powerhouse. And support industrial competitiveness by fostering professional manpower and supporting R&D.
