(SEOUL, Dec. 29) - The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on Monday that it held an on-site meeting at Seoul Partners House in Yongsan-gu to innovate regulations that hinder the introduction of high-tech industries such as robotics and bio and innovative services.
The meeting was attended by eight startups, including PetNow, which won the CES Best Innovation Award for its pet biometrics technology, and is facing difficulties in providing services due to pending legislative amendments, and VMS Holdings, which is preparing a non-face-to-face medical service for the health care of sailors on ocean-going ships.
The participants discussed nine improvement issues, including allowing non-face-to-face medical treatment and delivery of medicines, clarifying regulations related to software medical device conformity review, easing restrictions on access to building status maps, and easing regulations for my data business authorization.
The city has been holding regular meetings with companies, the government, and experts since 2022 to diagnose the situation and seek ways to improve the Seoul-style regulatory innovation that businesses can experience.
This year, the city will start with on-site meetings in high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and bio, and will listen to the pain points of companies in creative industries that converge culture and technology, such as extended reality (XR), media, and webtoon games, and seek ways to support them.
Choi Pan-kyu, head of the Seoul Economic Policy Division, said, "Regulatory improvement is as necessary for market preemption as the development of innovative technologies." "We will listen to the pain points of companies and create an 'innovative technology ecosystem' that actually creates regulatory innovation through government proposals."
