Blaize Holdings recently announced it has been selected by the Chungbuk Institute of Science and Technology (CBIST) to develop the region’s Digital Innovation Hub, expanding AI-powered smart city solutions across Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea.

As part of the partnership, Blaize will provide CBIST with core technologies for smart city implementation, more specifically AI, Edge computing, IoT, and data analytics capabilities. Additionally, Blaize will provide technical consulting and support during pilot testing.

In mission-critical settings like smart cities, latency, bandwidth constraints, and reliance on legacy Cloud offerings are not always possible. These environments demand real-time decision-making, on-site processing, and AI solutions that are both scalable and cost-effective. Blaize is purpose-built for this market need, delivering high-performance AI at the Edge with ultra-low power and latency-optimized architecture – suitable for powering smart cities worldwide.

“CBIST and Blaize share a common vision: a smarter planet, powered by edge AI. This collaboration with the Chungbuk Digital Innovation Hub will not only unlock smart city capabilities in the region, but demonstrate the impact AI can have worldwide,” said Dinakar Munagala, CEO and Co-Founder, Blaize. “We look forward to closely collaborating with CBIST and bringing greater innovation to South Korea.”

CBIST is actively developing smart city solutions within Chungcheongbuk-do. As well as selecting Blaize as its primary innovation partner, it is also working with other leading semiconductor companies in the region to create public services using AI.
