As one of the promotional projects of Pangyo Techno Valley, Pangyo Techno Valley can share major issues with global start-up clusters in an online meet up every month.

LOS ANGELES, CA, October 04, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Gyeonggi-do held an online meet up event with founder and editor in chief Hubert Nguyen of Ubergizmo in the US via a virtual meeting held on the 24th. Its aim was to promote the value of Pangyo Techno Valley and the status of companies to countries around the world.

As one of the promotional projects of Pangyo Techno Valley, Pangyo Techno Valley can share major issues with global start-up clusters in an online meet up every month.

That day, Gyeonggi-do talked about the status of Silicon Valley with a consumer tech media channel Ubergizmo in the US.

Silicon Valley is called the origin of start-up cluster globally. In 1971, journalist Don Hoppler from "Electronic News" used the term Silicon Valley for the first time in his article. The name Silicon Valley was coined by the phenomenon of a large number of tech businesses being concentrated in Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Mountain View, Sunnyvale with San Hose at the center. Most global tech giants including Apple, Google, Yahoo, Netflix, Cisco, Twitter and Facebook started in Silicon Valley.

Founders who made a fortune by taking a company public or selling it in Silicon Valley tend to make investments in other founders with money they made or start a new business. They are called a "Serial Entrepreneur". A good example is Elon Musk who made a lot of money as a co-founder of Paypal but is still challenging himself by starting Tesla and Space X. Alex, moderator of Pangyo Techno Valley delivered the news of major companies in Pangyo such as Kakao, Naver and Nexon.

- An automatic production AI robot which responds to variables in the production process with a fast learning ability

In a factory where manual labor is the norm, industrial robots are more efficient than human laborers. However, because industrial robots cannot deal with even small changes, they require training or programming as well as a strict control of the environment.

Companies in Silicon Valley are developing AI technologies that can be used in robots in order to create robots which can adapt to various circumstances. Self-learning AI technologies would be able to correct various errors so that they can perfectly replace tasks where human laborers put parts together on the assembly line.
