Daewoo E&C AI and technology integration

Overview

Following the appointment of Lee Kang-seok as CEO on October 5, 2026, Daewoo Engineering & Construction has initiated a strategic shift toward AI infrastructure, robotics, and data centers. Lee’s vision includes a “challenge” pillar aimed at diversifying into new business sectors and expanding international presence.

By late October, the company began implementing specific technological solutions to support this transformation. Daewoo E&C has deployed real-time translation systems supporting 16 languages to assist foreign workers with safety instructions. Additionally, the company introduced ‘SMARTy’, an integrated safety and health management system, and ‘Q-Box’, a quality management tool designed to reduce documentation time by over 90%.
