The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) said on the 1st they held the "2nd regulatory rationalization meeting" in Seoul on the 29th to lay the groundwork for growth in the mobility and Autonomous Driving industries.
The regulatory rationalization meeting is a consultative body involving government ministries, associations and groups, experts, and startups to review regulations in new industries and discuss improvement plans, and it has been run since this year. This meeting was arranged to specify regulatory issues raised in the mobility and Autonomous Driving sectors and to prepare practical improvement measures.
Four ministries attended the meeting, including the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS), the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Personal Information Protection Commission, and the Korea Media and Communications Commission. Also present were startup-related groups such as the Korea Startup Forum and the Korea Venture Business Association; mobility-sector associations and groups such as the Korea Automobile & Mobility Association, the Korea Autonomous Driving Industry Association, and the Korea Automotive Technology Institute; and corporations in the Autonomous Driving and mobility sectors such as Autonomous a2z, RideFlux, and Big Bird.
Participants shared regulatory difficulties arising in the use of raw data, pseudonymized information, and location information in the mobility and Autonomous Driving fields and discussed ways to improve them.
Yu Jong-pil, head of the Korea Institute of Startup and Entrepreneurship Development (KISED), said, "We will continue to create opportunities for diverse stakeholders to communicate so we can reasonably improve regulations that block the innovative growth of startups."
