In particular, in response to the workforce shortage, supply chain restructuring, eco-friendly transition, and digitalization demands facing the U.S. shipbuilding industry , we operate educational programs and technology cooperation networks to support Korean companies' entry into the U.S. market and the expansion of Korea-U.S. joint R&D.
