Cho has been elected president of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) at the ISO’s General Assembly meeting in Abu Dhabi in October last year. He will begin his two-year term from 2024.
“I will contribute to the national economy by demonstrating leadership as a CEO and based on 30 years of engineer experience,” Cho said. “Standardization can accelerate new technology development and bring forward innovation. Korea will also be able to enhance influence in the international society.”
Cho was advised to run for ISO president early last year as he will be able to contribute to the establishment of standardization based on his expertise in the industry.
“I will work closely with the board and member countries to reach the main goals for 2030 - to have ISO standards used everywhere, meeting global needs, and having all voices heard,” he said.
He will also aim to reach ISO’s sustainable development goal in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. He is expected to play key role in having developing countries introduce international standards based on an online educational platform and infrastructure.
Cho, in the meantime, also serves as the president of the Korea Association of Autonomous Mobility Industry (KAAMI) joined by Hyundai Motor Co., KT Corp., and other members.
KAAMI aims to enhance basic research capacity in autonomous driving sector and establish a systemic system for research and development planning and professional workforce nurturing.
The association plans to carry out various efforts so that Korea is able to secure competitiveness in autonomous technology in the global market.
