[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 22nd that it is accelerating the discovery of ‘Haenam-type New Deal projects’ in response to the Korean New Deal plan.

Following the government’s announcement of the comprehensive Korean New Deal plan, the county has established a basic strategy for the Haenam-type New Deal and plans to hold a Haenam-type New Deal response policy discovery briefing session on the 10th of next month to identify related projects.

In this regard, Haenam-gun previously discovered 17 Haenam-type New Deal projects in the first phase last month, including the establishment of an online lifelong learning platform.

At this briefing session, new Haenam-type projects corresponding to the three basic concepts of the Korean New Deal?Digital New Deal, Green New Deal, and Social Safety Net?will be identified, and proactive responses will be made in connection with national budget proposal projects.

In particular, as part of the Green New Deal projects, the county plans to actively cooperate with the central government and Jeollanam-do to promote the establishment of an RE100 (100% renewable energy use) dedicated pilot complex, and to increase feasibility by signing MOUs with related specialized institutions and private companies.

Additionally, Haenam-gun plans to actively discover projects such as expanding online non-face-to-face transactions of agricultural and marine products in the agriculture sector where it has a comparative advantage, collecting agricultural big data and building data infrastructure, establishing a digital management system for scientific farming facilities, and constructing an AI convergence national safety assurance demonstration lab.

Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “We are putting all our efforts into discovering Haenam-type New Deal projects to proactively respond to economic revitalization after COVID-19,” and added, “We will lead the post-COVID era by promoting projects tailored to the characteristics of the Haenam region in line with the Korean New Deal.”
