[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 20th that it has launched the 'Gyeongbuk New Technology Open Market' (Integrated Information System), a platform that integrates and manages new and excellent technologies within the province.

Gyeongbuk-do receives applications for new and excellent technologies from construction companies and, starting from January next year, supports easy utilization of technical information by ordering departments after registration review by the Construction Method Selection Committee.

Until now, each ordering department had different standards for selecting construction methods, causing excessive competition among companies and complaints about unfair selection. Accordingly, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Audit Office established the first ordinance in the nation on July 1st to systematically register and select construction methods.

With the launch of this New Technology Open Market, construction companies can directly apply for new and excellent technologies on the website, and the Audit Office will register and manage the construction methods reviewed by the Construction Method Selection Committee (composed of 200 members) on the open market.

Gyeongsangbuk-do plans to grant additional points to construction methods registered as new and excellent technologies, providing local construction companies with opportunities to secure better competitiveness than metropolitan area construction companies.

Lee Chang-jae, Auditor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, stated, "With the launch of this open market, it will be an opportunity to enhance fairness, transparency, and safety in various construction projects," adding, "It will lead to the effect of attracting new technologies and technology holders into the province through fostering and protecting excellent local technologies."
