South Korea's K-Moonshot project aims to deploy approximately 1.3 trillion won in funding next year as part of its push to tackle difficult scientific problems using AI, according to a Money Today graphic outlining the project's field-by-field plans and first-stage targets through 2029.
The graphic lays out K-Moonshot's planned initiatives by research area, along with first-stage objectives set for the period through 2029. The project is structured around applying AI to scientific challenges, with the 2029 milestone marking the end of the first phase of the program.
The Ministry of Science and ICT is the government body associated with the national initiative, which groups AI-driven scientific research under a flagship "moonshot" umbrella.
The 1.3 trillion won figure refers to the funding target for next year, as presented in the Money Today graphic summarizing the K-Moonshot project's field-specific plans and first-stage goals through 2029.
Details beyond the field-by-field plan and the 2029 first-stage targets were not included in the source material reviewed, and finer breakdowns of the 2025 allocation remain unconfirmed.
