[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] A digital content production facility combining the country's first urban metaverse platform, integrating tourism and medical software industries, will be established in the innovation city of Wonju, Gangwon Province.

According to Gangwon Province and Wonju City on the 16th, the urban metaverse studio 'Redwoods Park' is a private digital content software promotion facility designated by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the first business authorized by Gangwon Province.

'Redwoods Park' will be built by Ppurigipeunnamudeul Co., Ltd. in Bango-dong, Wonju City’s innovation district, with 4 underground floors, 20 above-ground floors, and a total area of 77,148㎡.

Researchers from the German Essen-Duisburg National University, which first introduced synesthetic cognitive therapy, and Hanyang University will develop and present a metaverse synesthetic clinical therapy program in collaboration with leading next-generation companies.

On the 15th, coinciding with the groundbreaking ceremony of 'Redwoods Park,' Gangwon Province, Wonju City, and Ppurigipeunnamudeul Co., Ltd. signed a business agreement to invest in the local software industry and promote related industrial development.

Ppurigipeunnamudeul Co., Ltd. is a KONEX-listed venture company and a foreign-invested corporation funded by the Korea Technology Finance Corporation. It is also the production company behind SBS's with a total production cost of 30 billion KRW.

Along with this project, the company plans to transfer its listing to KOSDAQ and relocate its headquarters to Gangwon Province. It is also recruiting famous writers to plan and develop several upcoming works.

Lee Jae-won, CEO of Ppurigipeunnamudeul Co., Ltd., said, "'Redwoods Park' will be the center for continuous investment in K-content production. We plan to expand the scope of the digital industry by combining the metaverse platform with content technology, including the development of synesthetic metaverse clinical therapy software for dementia prevention and treatment in the super-aged society."

Wonju City plans to develop Redwoods Park into a software promotion complex and convergence cluster combining VR, AR, XR technologies and content, focusing on tourism and medical industries, which are specialized industries of Gangwon Province.
