NHN Cloud expands industry-academia cooperation into biohealth, joins hands with Sangmyung University

[Financial News] NHN Cloud is expanding its cloud technology support into the biohealth sector. It is broadening its industry-academia cooperation with Sangmyung University, which has focused on practical training, to include research infrastructure and technology validation for startups. The plan is to increase the use of cloud services in biohealth while also training professionals needed in the industry.
According to industry sources on the 11th, NHN Cloud signed an agreement with Sangmyung University’s Biohealth Innovation Convergence College project team to expand cloud adoption and train professional talent.
The two sides will support the development of cloud environments needed for biohealth research and explore options for related technology consulting. They also plan to discuss ways to support cloud infrastructure development and proof-of-concept (PoC) testing for research projects linked to the project team and for biohealth startups.
In education, the initiative will strengthen the practical cloud skills of students majoring in biohealth. NHN Cloud plans to offer hands-on training linked to its certification (CES) and provide practice-oriented learning opportunities, including advice on cloud- and artificial intelligence (AI)-related courses, expert lectures, and company visits.
The two sides will also continue the “COSS & NHN Cloud” education program, which they have run at Sangmyung University’s Seoul Campus since last year. The program has provided hands-on training in cloud computing, networking, web servers, databases (DB), and other areas. Under the new agreement, they will expand their cooperation beyond education to research and platforms.
Sangmyung University’s Biohealth Innovation Convergence College project team participates in the Innovation Convergence University Project for Advanced Fields (COSS), led by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea. The biohealth consortium includes seven universities: Sangmyung, Dankook, Daejeon, Dong-eui, Woosong, Wonkwang Health Science, and Hongik.
NHN Cloud CEO Kim Dong-hun said, “Through this agreement, we plan to support the use of cloud technology in biohealth research and education and work to nurture cloud talent with practical skills.” He added, “We will continue to support cloud adoption in a range of fields through cooperation with universities and related institutions.”
