Main Research and Project Activities

We will realize a "successful technology startup model for the Yeongdong region" through focus and selection by first identifying new technology development outcomes as technology startup items. These outcomes will come from ANCHOR strategic industry development projects that combine the advanced strategic industry strengths of Catholic Kwandong University and Gangneung-Wonju National University in biohealth, food tech, semiconductors, future energy, and ICT with each university's region-specific industry strengths in smart port logistics, offshore wind power, deep ocean water, K-salmon, and non-ferrous metals.
