Supporting the Resolution of Corporate Technical Challenges and Connecting Companies with Technology Commercialization Opportunities
Expected to Promote Industry-Academia Cooperation by Linking Corporate Needs with University Research Capabilities
The Technology Commercialization Center (Director Hyun-Eui Song) held the “Joint Technical Challenges and Technology Transfer Consultation Session” on May 21 at the ECC Conference Hall in collaboration with the Corporate Empathy One-Stop Support Center (SOS1379) of the Korea Industrial Technology Association (KOITA).
The event was organized to address technical challenges faced by companies in Seoul’s strategic industries—including AI, biotechnology and healthcare, and robotics—and to support technology commercialization by connecting SOS1379’s corporate network with Ewha’s outstanding research capabilities.
More than 30 participants attended the event, including company representatives, Ewha researchers, and technology commercialization professionals. A total of 12 one-on-one technology and business partnering consultations were conducted. Participating companies discussed solutions to technical issues, opportunities for joint research, and the potential for technology transfer with Ewha researchers.
A notable aspect of the consultation session was its customized matching process. Based on corporate needs collected in advance through SOS1379, the Technology Commercialization Center reviewed the suitability of Ewha researchers and available technologies and arranged tailored consultations. Through direct discussions with researchers, participating companies were able to explore technology development strategies, collaborative research opportunities, and technology transfer possibilities in greater detail.
The consultation sessions featured a wide range of technologies aligned with industry demand, including:
- Ventilation system control technology reflecting room usage status and indoor air quality conditions (Professor Jae-Han Lim, Department of Architectural and Urban Systems Engineering)
- Ontology and AI technologies for HR platform services (Professor Sang-Yeob Kim, Department of Data Science)
- Technology for converting optical motion capture data into humanoid robot training data (Professor Soon-Gyeom Kim, Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering)
- A multimodal AI solution for preventing falls among older adults and other vulnerable populations (Professor Ji-Young Lee, Division of Artificial Intelligence)
- LLM-based legal and medical data reasoning technology for industrial accident compensation procedures (Professor Dae-Jin Choi, Division of Artificial Intelligence)
- Color matching and color development control technologies for the paint, printing, and cosmetics industries (Professor Myung-Jun Kim, Department of Convergence Contents)
- An on-device 3D spatial perception and object recognition system (Professor Jae-Hyung Shim, Department of Computer Science and Engineering)
- Image and text analysis technology for children’s art education (Professor Euiwon Hwang, Department of Computer Science and Engineering)
- A shoe-integrated guidance lighting system for pedestrian navigation assistance for mobility-vulnerable individuals (Professor Sung-Joo Hwang, Department of Architectural and Urban Systems Engineering)
The Technology Commercialization Center also introduced Ewha Tech-Net, Ewha’s industry-academia collaboration platform, along with various technology transfer and commercialization support programs, providing guidance on expanding partnerships between companies and the university. Participating companies engaged directly with researchers to discuss technology development directions and collaboration opportunities, while researchers gained insights into industry needs and explored possibilities for joint research and technology commercialization.
William Cho, Director of the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, stated, “This consultation session served as a practical platform for connecting the university’s outstanding research achievements with industry needs. We will continue to expand the collaborative ecosystem between academia and industry by supporting the resolution of technical challenges and promoting technology transfer and commercialization.”
Director Hyun-Eui Song of the Technology Commercialization Center added, “Through the Seoul BRIDGE Project and our corporate membership program, Ewha Tech-Net, the Technology Commercialization Center has been expanding technology commercialization partnerships with companies based in Seoul. We will continue to support networking between companies and researchers, technology transfer, joint research, and commercialization initiatives.”
