[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 29th that it has completed the selection of construction companies for the "AI-Centered Industrial Convergence Complex Creation" project, a core project of the "AI-Centered City Gwangju," and has completed all preparations for groundbreaking.

The city selected specialized companies in four fields related to the construction of the AI complex, which will be built on a 46,200㎡ site in Advanced District 3 with one basement floor and seven above-ground floors: ▲ Top Infra Consortium Co., Ltd. for architectural construction ▲ Wonjeon-gi LLC for electrical work ▲ Foresight Co., Ltd. for telecommunications ▲ Wooseok Firefighting Co., Ltd. for fire safety.

The city began basic and detailed design in April and completed it in October. Subsequently, through bidding announcements for each process such as architecture, electrical, and telecommunications, all contracts for facility construction companies were finalized.

Since March, Gwangju has formed a collaborative TF with relevant city departments, autonomous districts, the AI Industrial Convergence Project Group, and Gwangju Urban Corporation to prepare for groundbreaking. They have shared and continuously cooperated on all promotion matters including site acquisition approval for the AI complex, basic and detailed design, and selection of construction companies.

Son Kyung-jong, Director of the AI Industry Bureau, said, "We will steadily promote the AI-Centered Industrial Convergence Complex Creation project, a core project of Gwangju's AI-centered 3 major New Deals, to support South Korea as one of the four major AI powers and leap forward as a global leading AI-centered city."

Meanwhile, the AI complex creation project aims to innovate and add high value to the regional industrial structure by investing 411.6 billion KRW over five years from this year to 2024 in Advanced District 3 (46,200㎡) to establish world-class infrastructure that promotes AI convergence.
