Additionally, the 'Gyeongsangnam-do Automobile Industry Promotion Committee' will be operated with an executive committee of 20 industry-academia-research experts centered on the Southeast Headquarters of the Korea Automotive Technology Institute, and six subcommittees totaling 50 members covering infrastructure, technology development, new technology transfer, crisis response, workforce training, and legal systems.
