Daejeon Ansan Advanced Defense Convergence Cluster Development 'Accelerates'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Ansan Advanced Defense Convergence Cluster development project is expected to gain momentum.

Daejeon City announced on the 12th that it recently received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Central Industrial Site Policy Deliberation Committee) for the designation plan of the Ansan Defense Cluster industrial complex.

The approval of the designation plan is expected to serve as a starting point to solve the shortage of industrial land in the Daejeon area, create a foundation for early supply, and alleviate local community distrust regarding industrial complex development.

The Ansan Defense Cluster is planned to be developed on a scale of 1.67 million square meters along Bukyuseong-daero near the Oesam Vehicle Base in Yuseong-gu to the Namsejong IC area.

The development project is expected to involve a budget of 1.4 trillion KRW.

The city plans to collaborate with defense-related institutions such as the Army Headquarters, Agency for Defense Development, Research and Development Special Zone, and KIST to enable Daejeon to grow into a hub city for advanced defense industries through the Ansan Defense Cluster.

In particular, the city anticipates that the Ansan Defense Cluster development will also resolve the outflow of companies outside the region caused by the shortage of industrial land.

Additionally, the city emphasizes that fostering advanced defense companies and small and medium venture businesses, supporting youth startups, creating large-scale jobs, driving technological innovation, and attracting companies will serve as driving forces for regional economic development.

Ko Hyun-deok, Director of the City’s Job and Economy Bureau, stated, “We will expedite the process of lifting development restrictions to advance the timing of industrial land supply,” and added, “The city will also make every effort to establish plans for supplying new industrial complexes to respond to rapidly changing industrial environments such as COVID-19 and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
