[에너지경제신문 나유라 기자] It is reported that Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Eui-sun Eui-sun will visit the construction site of the Global Innovation Center in Singapore as early as next week.
According to industry sources on the 20th, Chairman Chung is expected to visit the construction site of the Singapore Global Innovation Center (HMGICS) as early as next week to check the progress.
This business trip is the first overseas business trip since the inauguration of the chairman. Chairman Chung refrained from overseas business trips in the aftermath of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).
HMGICS, which Chairman Chung visits, is an open innovation base (Open Innovation Lab) that studies and demonstrates the entire value chain (value chain) of the customer’s automobile life cycle, from car ordering to production, test drive, delivery and service. It aims to be completed by the end of next year.
HMGICS will be built in the Jurong Innovation Complex, Singapore, with a land area of 44,000m2 (about 13,000 pyeong), a total floor area of 90,000㎡ (27,000 pyeong) and 7 stories above ground.
The Hyundai Motor Group is planning to demonstrate a system where customers can produce and deliver cars immediately with on-demand production technology when a customer signs a car online through a smartphone.
In particular, it is analyzed that the significance of this business trip is significant in that it is one of the best places to represent the’human-centered mobility’ that Chairman Chung put in place.
Chairman Jeong believes that the innovation that will be implemented based on the vision of’human-centered value chain innovation for mobility paradigm shift’ will change the future and contribute to the development of humanity.
In October of last year, Hyundai Motor Group held a groundbreaking ceremony for HMGICS by connecting Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Namyang Research Center and Jurong Town Hall in the Jurong area in western Singapore through video.
At that time, taking into account the Corona 19 situation, Chairman Chung read a welcoming speech in Korea without attending the groundbreaking ceremony for HMGICS in Singapore.
