Zyx Technology, Seoul National University sign MOU to support landscape design education
Zyx Technology, a Korean AI digital design platform company, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional System Engineering at Seoul National University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences on June 10. The signing ceremony was held at the university's Seoul campus, with Vice Dean Heo Jin-hoe of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Zyx Technology Chairman Choi Jong-bok, and other key officials. As part of the agreement, Zyx Technology will donate 150 educational licenses per year of its flagship computer-aided design software, ZyxCAD, for three years. The software will be used to support coursework and research in landscape design, with the goal of enhancing practical design training for students. ZyxCAD is a general-purpose CAD program developed in Korea and listed in the national e-procurement system. It offers high compatibility with AutoCAD — supporting similar commands, shortcuts, file formats and LISP scripts — and features an intuitive interface with multi-CPU-based high-speed processing. The software also includes 'Works,' a utility suite with around 450 tools that streamline repetitive tasks and support complex design workflows. 'This collaboration with Seoul National University will be remembered as a meaningful case where Korea's top educational institution and domestic design software come together beyond the level of a single department,' said Zyx Technology Chairman Choi Jong-bok. 'We hope ZyxCAD will provide practical benefits to the department's advanced design education environment.' Vice Dean Heo Jin-hoe said ZyxCAD will enhance hands-on learning and serve as a model for industrial-academic collaboration.

Zyx Technology donates CAD software to Royal University of Phnom Penh
South Korean design software developer Zyx Technology announced Thursday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) to donate licenses for its CAD software, ZyxCAD. The agreement is part of an Official Development Assistance (ODA) project led by the University of Seoul's Graduate School of International Urban Science. Since 2021, the university has collaborated with RUPP, establishing Cambodia's first independent urban planning department, the Department of Sustainable Urban Planning and Development. Under the three-year agreement, Zyx Technology will provide 500 ZyxCAD licenses per year, allowing RUPP students to gain hands-on experience in urban design and planning. With Cambodia's construction and manufacturing industries growing rapidly, demand for advanced CAD software is rising. By partnering with RUPP, Cambodia's leading national university, Zyx Technology aims to strengthen its presence in the Southeast Asian market. 'We are delighted that our students will receive practical training with cutting-edge CAD technology through our collaboration with Zyx Technology,' RUPP President Chet Chealy said. 'This MOU is not just a software donation but an opportunity to strengthen educational and technological ties between Cambodia and South Korea.' Zyx Technology co-CEO Choi Jong-bok added, 'As Cambodia continues to grow in manufacturing and construction, we are committed to helping RUPP students develop into globally competitive professionals through ZyxCAD.'
