Busan, Laying the Foundation to Become a Leading City in Quantum Technology
Busan City has been selected for the '2025 Demand-Based Quantum Technology Demonstration and Consulting' project by the Ministry of Science and ICT. This is a significant achievement in the field of quantum technology, which is emerging as a key technology for the future.
With this selection, Busan City will carry out a national project worth a total of 2.45 billion won. This project is expected to contribute to the demonstration and consulting of quantum technology, as well as the revitalization of the industrial ecosystem. It remains to be seen whether Busan can establish itself as a nationwide leading case in this field.
Building Regional Industry-Academia Cooperation Consortium Including Pusan National University
This project will be carried out through an industry-academia cooperation consortium including Pusan National University, Neotech Co., Ltd., Dongil Rubber Belt Co., Ltd., and Kobat Co., Ltd., under the management of the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency.
The project is divided into three main tasks: demonstrating battery defect diagnosis using quantum magnetic field sensors, consulting on the introduction and application of quantum technology, and revitalizing the regional quantum science and technology ecosystem. These tasks aim to pursue both industrial practicality and technological innovation, enhancing the potential for utilization in various fields.
In particular, Professor Moon Han-seop's team from the Department of Physics at Pusan National University is responsible for overseeing the development of a diagnostic system based on quantum sensors and demonstration research for the business alliance, playing a key role in accelerating the fusion of basic research and industrial field. As a result, it is expected that the development of quantum technology and the industrial ecosystem in the region will become more active.
Demonstration Project: The Convergence of Quantum Technology and the Battery Industry
Quantum magnetic field sensors are an innovative technology capable of measuring physical quantities with ultra-high sensitivity. This project will conduct demonstration research to detect and analyze micro defects inside lithium-ion batteries.
In this task, Kobat Co., Ltd. is responsible for demonstrating battery inspection and comparing its performance with existing methods, while Dongil Rubber Belt Co., Ltd. will provide the shielding technology and components necessary for the demonstration. Additionally, Neotech Co., Ltd. will handle the development of sensor control software and data collection, playing a crucial role in accelerating the application of quantum technology in industrial fields.
This collaboration will create opportunities to provide practical references that enhance the commercialization potential of quantum technology, and Busan City is expected to play a pivotal role in laying the foundation for the quantum components industry.
Consulting for Local Companies and Ecosystem Expansion Strategy
This project goes beyond simple technology verification and also includes consulting related to the introduction of quantum technology for local companies. It aims to suggest the applicability of quantum technology to small and medium-sized enterprises with low understanding of the technology and to provide tailored consulting services to each company's characteristics, thereby creating quantum-based innovation cases.
The Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency will play a central role in creating the regional quantum industry ecosystem through various activities beyond this consulting, including promotion and dissemination of results, operation of expert networks, and linking with educational programs to support continuous growth of local companies.
Centum Global Quantum Complex OneCentum, A Future Where Technology and Space Meet
An element that further enhances the significance of this project is the ongoing construction of the 'Centum Global Quantum Complex' OneCentum in the Haeundae Centum area. This high-rise mixed-use development zone is located at 1502 Centum U-dong and is being developed in collaboration with the global real estate developer Hines and renowned architectural firm SOM.
This complex will serve as a hub for office space, research facilities, and startup infrastructures based on quantum computing, establishing itself as a center for advanced technologies.
In the future, this complex is expected to provide office space for companies and research institutes related to quantum technology, and is anticipated to develop further through synergy with this demonstration and consulting project. Busan is facing a significant opportunity to grow into a quantum technology hub city where technology, space, and industry converge through such facilities.
A Leap Towards Becoming a Center of Quantum Industry, Looking at the Future of Busan
The selection for this public project is a significant milestone for Busan as it aims to establish itself as a 'Leading City in Quantum Technology.' Over the past three years, Busan City has successfully selected five national projects related to quantum technology, securing a total of 15.8 billion won in national funding. This achievement is notable among metropolitan governments nationwide.
As the number of cases, such as the urban railway dispatch optimization research conducted in collaboration with the Busan Transportation Corporation and Korea Quantum Computing (KQC), increases, it stands out that quantum technology is gradually being disseminated within the community. This development positively impacts Busan’s advancement as a center for technological innovation.
Conclusion: Busan, Connecting the Future with Quantum Technology
Quantum technology is no longer a future concept. Through this public project, Busan City is pursuing a comprehensive strategy that enhances collaboration with local industries, promotes the actual utilization of technologies, and fosters an ecosystem.
Moreover, with the participation of the Global Quantum Complex, Busan is facing an important opportunity to develop into a center of the Korean quantum industry. These changes are expected to have a positive impact on the economy and industry of Busan.
