Gyeonggi Province announced on November 12 that it received the Digital Government Award at the 2025 ASOCIO Digital Summit in recognition of its achievements in introducing artificial intelligence (AI) across government administration and driving innovation in public services.

The Asian-Oceanian Computing Industry Organization (ASOCIO) is an international ICT council representing 24 countries across Asia and Oceania. Every year, the organization selects and awards public and private institutions that lead advancements in AI and digital transformation.

This year’s awards ceremony was held from November 10 to 12 in Taipei, Taiwan. Nine organizations from Korea—including Gyeonggi Province, LG CNS, Hankook Networks, and Mirae Asset Securities—received awards across various categories.

Gyeonggi Province was recognized for its achievements across daily-life public service innovation and comprehensive AI transformation, including: AI Care, AI Welfare Call, a behavioral analysis system for individuals with developmental disabilities, and AI-based 119 emergency call receipt services; the launch of the Gyeonggi-style AI Administrative Innovation Platform (LLM); AI talent development and digital-inclusion education programs to reduce the information gap for digitally vulnerable groups; and the establishment of an AI innovation cluster and provision of high-performance computing resources to support industry, administration, and welfare sectors.

Based on this recognition, the province plans to expand international cooperation networks through initiatives, including the following: support for overseas expansion of AI companies in Gyeonggi Province; pursuing global joint research in leading AI fields; sharing exemplary cases of AI literacy among residents; and advancing policies for safe and ethical AI utilization.

Kim Ki-byeong, Director General of Gyeonggi Province’s Artificial Intelligence Bureau, stated, “This award affirms that the international community recognizes Gyeonggi Province’s efforts to deploy AI across residents’ daily lives, from administration and welfare to industrial development,” adding, “We will continue advancing AI-based resident services, industrial innovation, and administrative modernization so that the Gyeonggi-style AI public-innovation model becomes a globally leading best practice.”
