In particular, Gyeonggi Province Future Growth Policy Director Lim Moon-young spoke about the current state of Silicon Valley with Ubergizmo, an American consumer tech media channel.
Silicon Valley is said to be the origin of start-up clusters around the world. In 1971, a reporter named Don Hoffler first used the term ‘Silicon Valley’ in an article. Since then, Silicon Valley has become the common name for areas such as Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale, which are home to many tech companies, centered around San Jose. Most of America’s global giant companies, such as Apple, Google, Yahoo, Netflix, Cisco, Twitter, and Facebook, started here.
In Silicon Valley, founders who earn a lot of money by working hard to grow startups and listing or selling them reinvest this money in other startups or start new startups. These people are called ‘Serial Entrepreneurs.’ A representative example is Elon Musk, who accumulated a lot of wealth as a co-founder of PayPal, but is taking on bigger challenges by founding companies such as Tesla and SpaceX.
Pangyo Techno Valley host Alex (Alex msigrist) reported news from major companies in Pangyo, including Kakao, Naver, and Nexon.

-AI and laser combine to create weeding technology without chemicals
Carbon Robotics has unveiled the 3rd generation Autonomic Weeder, a smart farming robot that identifies weeds with AI technology and then destroys them with a high-power laser.
The autonomous weeder is a very efficient weed control method that removes weeds autonomously without any negative effects on soil and water and without the hassle of manually removing the weeds.
– Automatic production AI robot that responds to variables in the production process with fast learning ability
In factories that rely on simple labor, industrial robots are more efficient than workers. However, industrial robots cannot cope with even small changes, so they require a lot of training or programming and the environment must be strictly controlled.
Companies in Silicon Valley are developing AI that can be applied to robots so that robots can adapt to various situations. In the future, robots will be able to completely replace the process of workers taking out parts, placing them on the assembly line, and assembling them by correcting and improving various errors through self-learning AI.
-Starlink service is scheduled to be provided in all regions of the Earth by next year.
