Information Access Center (IAC)

Through this project, we establish Information Access Centers (IAC) equipped with the latest ICT facilities in public institutions, government departments, and national universities in partner countries in order to provide opportunities for the people to experience emerging technologies. Each center is equipped with an ICT complex room, an ICT training room, a seminar room, and a content production room in an area of approximately 330 square meters.

Each IAC is built as a customized model based on the needs of the partner country - it can be an ICT accessibility enhancement type, ICT capacity enhancement type, and business type. All IACs established around the world are operating a wide range of ICT projects involving emerging technologies (AI and IoT), programming, and e-government education for public officials with the aim of achieving ICT development of the country.

Once an IAC is built, the partner country is in charge of operating manpower and financial resources, while NIA is in charge of providing ICT expertise and advice for its operation. The IAC project helps partner countries promote independent ICT development through mutual cooperation, and strengthens the partnership in the ICT area.





"Since 2002, 62 IACs have been established at 50 countries worldwide."
