[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The 'IFEZ-Happy Study Room' project, which supports home study rooms in the old downtown area for companies residing in the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ), has started a new season.

On the 18th, the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority signed a business agreement with IFEZ resident companies participating in Happy Study Room Season 4 and the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation at G Tower in Songdo International City.

In Season 4, in addition to the six companies that previously participated?Janssen Vaccine, i-SENS, Innotron, Cammsys, Korea Mitsubishi Elevator, and POSCO A&C?a new company, TOK Advanced Materials, will join to help create study rooms for students in difficult environments. The Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation will oversee and manage the entire project.

The Happy Study Room project began in October 2017 as part of a community contribution initiative to share the development achievements of IFEZ with the old downtown area.

So far, IFEZ resident companies have donated funds to renovate study rooms for students in the old downtown area with poor living conditions by repainting walls, replacing lighting, and providing educational equipment such as computers and bookshelves. A total of 31 households have received support to date.

Lee Won-jae, head of the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority, said, "In this season, IFEZ employees have collected spare change to support non-face-to-face learning devices, and additional companies sharing the same purpose have joined. We will continue to promote the Happy Study Room project so that IFEZ and the old downtown area can harmonize and share development achievements."
