[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] Gyeongnam Province, Changwon City, Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, and Korea Industrial Complex Corporation signed a mutual cooperation business agreement on the '3D Digital Platform Construction' at the Changwon Smart Innovation Support Center on the 31st.

The signing ceremony was attended by Ha Byung-pil, Acting Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, Heo Seong-mu, Mayor of Changwon, Kim Jeong-ryeol, President of Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, and Park Min-won, Head of the Gyeongnam Changwon Smart Green Industrial Complex Project Group.

The project is led by Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, with five private companies participating as a consortium. The project period is three years until December 2023. The project cost is 13 billion KRW, including national funds, local funds, and private contributions.

Specifically, the Changwon National Industrial Complex will be realized in 3D to provide marketing services, produce 3D virtual reality (VR) content about companies and products, and operate a virtual exhibition hall.

Ha Byung-pil, Acting Governor of Gyeongnam Province, said, "We expect this to strengthen the competitiveness of companies residing in the Changwon National Industrial Complex and serve as a stepping stone for the digital transformation."
