The South Korean system as much as the Korean Inc. must undergo seismic changes to embrace the coming age of digitalization and automation from the fourth industrial revolution, entrepreneurs based in Silicon Valley, California, advised.

Over 200 crowded the first day of the 24th Global Forum hosted by Maekyung Media Group in the U.S. innovation hotbed under the theme of “Korea’s Future and Silicon Valley.”

The members in the Silicon Valley are fiercely trying to become next Google in the innovation race, and if Korean companies do not join now, they would never be able to catch up, said Ahn Ikk-jin, co-founder and chief executive of Moloco Inc. providing cloud service for mobile advertisers.

Michael Yang of Michael Yang Capital Management LLC advised Korea to first overhaul its rigid and creativity-killing education system upon witnessing poor adaptability of Korean enterprises in the Silicon Valley.

Maekyung Media Group Chairman Chang Dae-whan in the opening speech urged the new Korean government to pay utmost attention in promoting the country’s engagement in the fourth industrial revolution as the country’s future lies in its success in riding the new industrial wave.
