[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Ulsan City is making every effort to secure national funding for next year.

On the 23rd, Jo Won-kyung, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Ulsan City, met with Choi Sang-dae, Budget Director of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, to request the inclusion of national funds for next year's parliamentary budget increase projects.

The main proposed projects include the establishment of a 3D Convergence Technology Center to build a foundation for the growth of Ulsan's future new industries, the Ulsan Genome Service Industry Regulatory Free Zone project, and the digital transformation project for the shipbuilding and marine steel manufacturing industry to revitalize Ulsan's key shipbuilding industry, as well as AI-based autonomous welding solution development and demonstration projects.

In addition, proposals include ▲ the construction of the Ulsan Garden Support Center, ▲ the Okdong~Nongso 1 road construction, and ▲ the Bangudae Petroglyphs historical tourism resource development project, covering green spaces, roads, and cultural sectors, along with other pressing Ulsan projects.

Ulsan City is making every effort to secure national funding by explaining national projects to senior officials of central government ministries and local lawmakers to ensure the inclusion of projects targeted for parliamentary budget increases in the government proposal.

The city plans to respond promptly to the National Assembly's budget review of major parliamentary budget increase projects by the end of November and secure the maximum possible national funding in next year's government proposal.

A city official said, “We will do our utmost to secure next year's national funding until the very end to achieve tangible results.”
