"Bridging Reality & Expectations"
Project Description
As part of the 2023 IFEZ (Incheon Free Economic Zone) Smart City Citizen Engagement Living Lab initiative, we are conducting an Innovation Ecosystem Exploration Living Lab. The goal is to identify and address local challenges based on citizen demand and participation, while also uncovering smart city challenges that leverage innovative ICT technologies to propose solutions for IFEZ urban problems.
In particular, we are collaborating with citizens to integrate & analyze public data, gaining insights into their everyday realities. By bridging the gap between citizens’ ideal vision of the city with the current urban situation, we aim to identify various smart city problem-solving initiatives (RFPs) for IFEZ across a range of smart city domains.
