South Korea’s top tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. said Wednesday it plans to open its first Seoul-based research center in October, which will focus on the software and design segments.
The new center, whose construction began in 2012, will be named “Samsung Seoul R&D Campus” and offer a university-like environment to researchers, the company said.
Around 7,000 staff members of Samsung’s design and software divisions will be relocated to the 330,000-square-meter research center.
Samsung currently operates mobile and semiconductor research centers in Suwon and Hwaseong, just south of Seoul, respectively. (Yonhap)
