“SMBA selected five excellent colleges in the whole country that foster
cooperation between the acad- eme and industry, and SSU was among those
that were selected, thanks to our Industry-Academe Fusion Research Village,
which makes us a unique college in Seoul. Utilizing our know-how and
experience, we help people acquire the skills needed to propel economic
growth through companies, the college, and particularly the laboratory that
has been built in the college. Thanks for attending this show.” The
