Korea is undoubtedly an IT superpower. Its technological prowess has already been recognized worldwide, and it is expected that Korea's majesty will grow even more in line with the 4th industrial era. The reason why it was able to be called an IT superpower is because there were various efforts by countries and companies to secure national competitiveness.
Companies have made efforts through continuous technology development, and the country has made bold investments accordingly. Efforts to nurture global talent have also been added in the field of nurturing IT talent. All of this worked like cogs, and the result was the title of an IT superpower.

Daehee Kim, CEO of SAMWOOIMMERSION
What kind of company is SAMWOOIMMERSION?
Samwoo Immersion is an 11-year-old company founded by me, an expert in the maritime field, in 2011. The beginning was to develop a simulator by combining the difficulties experienced while working in the maritime field with IT technology. As we started AR/VR development in 2016, we expanded our business not only to Heyang but also to all industrial fields. By expanding its scope to the establishment of education and training centers, it is positioning itself as a leading company in total IT solutions.
Even now, I am leading SAMWOOIMMERSION myself, and I have been invited to special lectures on IT manpower training and job training across the country, and I am also actively engaged in lecture activities.
