Convened by the Government of Sejong Special Self-Governing City (Republic of Korea).

 

This session presents Sejong Special Self-Governing City, South Korea’s administrative capital and a premier global smart city testbed. As a National Pilot City, Sejong showcases core achievements in inclusive and safe urban models, including the “I-Eung Bus” — an AI-driven demand-responsive transport system — and pioneering autonomous transit services. Through AI, data-driven governance and active citizen participation, the session offers practical insights into how Sejong integrates cutting-edge technology into daily urban life to enhance efficiency and citizen wellbeing.
