South Korea Sets Three Tech Goals: Moon by 2030, 100-Qubit Quantum Computer by 2029, BCI by 2035

South Korea's government has announced three technology development goals: achieving a moon landing by 2030, developing a 100-qubit quantum computer through domestic research by 2029, and commercializing brain-computer interface (BCI) products by 2035. These targets span aerospace, quantum computing, and neurotechnology, and are intended to enhance the country's technological competitiveness.

To achieve these goals, South Korea has launched a 'Super Innovation Economy Project,' with key focus areas including expansion of the semiconductor supply chain, construction of AI data centers, and cultivation of the physical AI industry. Companies such as Samsung and SK Hynix can provide high-performance computing chips to support the quantum computing and BCI sectors.

South Korea still faces technological dependencies in related fields. High-end lithography machines, core aerospace components, and key quantum computing control devices are mainly supplied by Europe and the United States. In addition, South Korea has limited hands-on experience in lunar exploration-related space engineering, and there is a clear gap compared with major spacefaring nations such as China and the United States.
