(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ko Eun-ji = Seoul City announced on the 29th that it held an on-site forum on the 28th at Seoul Partners House in Yongsan-gu to discuss ways to innovate regulations that act as obstacles in the process of introducing cutting-edge industries and services such as robotics and biotechnology.
The forum was attended by eight startups, including Petnow, which won the CES Best Innovation Award for its pet biometric identification technology but is struggling to provide services due to a pending law amendment, and VMS Holdings, which is preparing a telemedicine service for the health management of distant-water vessel crew members. Relevant association representatives also participated.
The attendees discussed nine improvement tasks, including allowing remote medical consultations and pharmaceutical deliveries, clarifying regulations related to software medical device compliance reviews, easing restrictions on building status document access, and relaxing regulations for MyData business licensing.
Since 2022, the city has been regularly holding forums to diagnose the field and explore directions for improvement in collaboration with businesses, the government, and experts, as part of its 'Seoul-style Regulatory Innovation' initiative aimed at making changes that businesses can feel.
This year, the city plans to start with forums focused on cutting-edge industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and biotechnology, and will continue to gather input from companies in creative industries that integrate culture and technology, such as extended reality (XR), media, webtoons, and gaming, while exploring support measures.
Choi Pan-gyu, Director of Economic Policy at Seoul City, said, "Improving regulations is just as crucial as developing innovative technologies for securing market dominance," and added, "We will listen to companies' difficulties and create an 'innovation technology ecosystem' that leads to real regulatory reform through recommendations to the government."
