South Korea Boosts NEXT Project Strategic Investment
The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Presidential Advisory Council approved on March 13 a basic plan to strengthen interagency cooperation for the NEXT project focusing on core technologies such as AI. The government will designate 19 technology categories and allocate 8.6 trillion won (US$5.78 billion) for 2026 national strategic R&D, a 30% increase, with further expansion and international engagement planned.
