South Korea’s government released its economic growth strategy for the second half of 2026, outlining plans to accelerate three “super projects” focused on semiconductors, AI data centers, and embodied AI, while also seeking to strengthen industrial competitiveness through building a blockchain and digital asset ecosystem.
According to Odaily, the plan includes doubling the country’s memory chip production capacity over the next five years and launching a nationwide AI chatbot and a unified AI education platform in the second half of this year.
The government also said it will advance large-scale demonstration projects for a blockchain and digital asset ecosystem in the second half of this year. It plans to start a blockchain-based pilot for tokenizing government bonds and explore linking it with an institutional central bank digital currency initiative by the Bank of Korea to support upgrades to financial infrastructure.
In addition, South Korea plans to establish a strategic investment account and a national growth fund to expand long-term capital support for strategic industries including artificial intelligence, quantum technology, security, and blockchain.
