Among the programs developed by the IT Institute of Kim Chaek University of Technology is a plot-specific e-map management program for mobile phones. 

The app makes it possible to scientifically and technically distribute varieties and cultivate crops in each farming process on the basis of a detailed understanding of plot-specific soil properties, thus ensuring scientific accuracy and promptness in farming control. The IT product, which is popular across the country, makes a tangible contribution to producing high yields in the agricultural sector.

The institute also developed and introduced programs conducive to education and IT products for the field of artificial intelligence.

In addition, it developed various programs based on VR and speech information processing technologies.

Many of them, including a school education level appraisal system, antivirus software and Korean speech synthesis program, were registered as the best IT products and put on the list of the top ten IT products.

Products from the institute were rated as excellent at the DPRK-Russia IT products exhibition-2024 held last year as they are valuable ones conducive to IT and digital development and cooperation.

The institute was selected as one of the top ten IT businesses six times at the national exhibition of IT achievements as it had made substantial achievements conducive to realizing the informatization of the country. 

The institute has so far produced many honorary title holders and competent talents, including winners of the February 16 Science and Technology Prize, top honour for scientists and technicians in the country, those of the Sci-tech Innovation Prize, People's Scientists, Merited Scientists and the first best IT expert.
