Korea-Japan Future Generation Forum Excellence Award
Presented a proposal for Korea-Japan cooperation through IT in the forum's first session and received an Excellence Award.
What I did
My presentation, 'Dialogue Facing the Past, Youth Reflection Opening the Future: The Possibility of Korea-Japan Cooperation through IT,' used the history of industrial competition to argue that the next technology transition also needs mechanisms for cooperation.
I proposed connecting Japan's strengths in robotics, hardware, and AI-safety research with Korea's strengths in semiconductors, data infrastructure, and service development. Youth-led work on AI-safety validation and robot-ethics standards served as concrete examples.
The conclusion was practical: cross-border cooperation should move beyond slogans into hackathons and joint projects where young people reduce technical, language, and cultural barriers together. That perspective continues in my current experience building services with Japanese team members.
