Zyx Technology, a leading Korean AI-powered digital design platform company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional System Engineering at Seoul National University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The partnership aims to strengthen landscape design education and promote practical, industry-relevant training.
The signing ceremony was held at Seoul National University’s main campus, attended by key representatives including Vice Dean Heo Jin-hoe and Zyx Technology Chairman Choi Jong-bok.
Under the agreement, Zyx Technology will provide 150 annual educational licenses of its flagship software, ZyxCAD, over the next three years. The donation will support both classroom instruction and research efforts, allowing students and faculty to gain hands-on experience with a cutting-edge Korean CAD platform.
ZyxCAD is a domestically developed, general-purpose computer-aided design software included in Korea’s national e-procurement system. Designed for compatibility with AutoCAD, it supports similar commands, file formats, LISP scripting, and user shortcuts. Its intuitive interface is backed by multi-core CPU optimization for high-speed processing, and the software is enhanced by “Works,” a utility suite offering more than 450 productivity tools for repetitive and complex design tasks.
“This collaboration with Seoul National University marks a significant milestone where Korea’s top-tier academic institution partners with a homegrown software innovator,” said Zyx Technology Chairman Choi Jong-bok. “We believe ZyxCAD will play a vital role in modernizing and enhancing landscape design education.”
Vice Dean Heo Jin-hoe welcomed the partnership, stating, “ZyxCAD’s introduction into our curriculum will boost practical learning and set a new standard for industry-academic cooperation in design education.”
The partnership reflects a growing commitment to integrating local technology into educational ecosystems and advancing Korea’s position in digital design innovation.
