# Gyeongsangbuk-do AI and robotics industry development > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/gyeongsangbuk-do-ai-and-robotics-industry-development > Updated: 2026-10-26T01:33:02.000Z. Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Gyeongsangbuk-do is implementing several initiatives to integrate artificial intelligence and robotics into its regional industrial sectors. In the northern region, the province established the Northern Gyeongsangbuk-do AI Robot Enterprise Council. This council, comprising 12 companies from Gimcheon, Andong, Yeongju, and Sangju, aims to integrate small and medium-sized enterprises into the robot industry supply chain. Strategic goals include utilizing precision machining capabilities in Yeongju for core components and expanding the use of agricultural robots through field testing and distribution. Simultaneously, the province is driving AI transformation (AX) through large-scale projects. In Pohang, a 22.1 billion KRW initiative is working to digitize the expertise of skilled workers within the steel industrial complex to improve production and logistics. In Gyeongsan, a partnership with FuriosaAI has established a demonstration hub for domestic AI semiconductors, allowing regional companies to test locally developed Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for use in manufacturing, robotics, and mobility. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Gyeongbuk Province initiates AI transformation projects in South Korea Gyeongbuk Province is advancing AI integration through a 22.1 billion KRW steel industry AX project in Pohang and a new domestic AI semiconductor demonstration hub in Gyeongsan. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gyeongbuk-province-initiates-ai-transformation-projects-in-south-korea ### 2026-10-25: Gyeongsangbuk-do establishes AI robot enterprise council in northern region Gyeongsangbuk-do has launched a new AI robot enterprise council in its northern region, completing a province-wide cooperation network to support robot component manufacturing and agricultural robotics. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gyeongsangbuk-do-establishes-ai-robot-enterprise-council-in-northern-region --- Cite as: Gyeongsangbuk-do AI and robotics industry development.
