Three hands-on AI topics for small businesses
Busan Metropolitan City has announced free data and AI capability training for employees of Busan-based small and medium-sized enterprises. Its in-person groups are scheduled for November 18, 2026 (Excel and ChatGPT for practical data analysis), November 19 (AI customer relationship management basics), and November 20 (automation using company knowledge data). Each four-hour workshop runs from 1 to 5 p.m.
Who can apply and where
Training takes place at Busan Big Data Innovation Center, 7th floor, 45 Centum dong-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan. The city describes a total training capacity of around 75 people and an application window of October 21–November 16, 2026. Companies already participating in the SME big-data analytics and utilization support project receive priority; other local SMEs may receive remaining places. Applying within the dates does not guarantee a seat.
Online learning and preparation
Beginner through advanced online learning is also announced for November 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027. The programme is free; bringing a personal laptop is recommended. The external application page linked by the city was not independently accessible during verification, so live capacity, selection results and detailed application steps still need checking with the booking provider.
