Prime Minister Kim Visits Daegu to Encourage Businesses Preparing for 'Win-Win Jobs' Initiative

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum visited Daedong Co., Ltd., which is preparing the 'Win-Win Regional Job Creation' project, on the 24th to inspect the company site and encourage the employees.

At this event, Prime Minister Kim received a report on Daedong's corporate status and the preparation status of the 'Daegu-type Job Creation' project being promoted by its subsidiary, Daedong Mobility Co., Ltd.

Daedong Mobility, a subsidiary of Daedong, plans to invest about 180 billion KRW over five years in new industries such as e-bikes and artificial intelligence (AI) robot mobility through technological cooperation with KT, creating approximately 300 direct jobs (with an employment inducement effect of about 4,600 jobs).

If the Daegu-type Job Creation project is selected as a 'Win-Win Regional Job Creation,' it will receive government support such as local investment promotion subsidies.

Since establishing the 'Win-Win Regional Job Creation Model Expansion Plan,' the government has selected 'Win-Win Regional Job Creation' projects in five regions (Gwangju, Miryang in Gyeongnam, Hoengseong in Gangwon, Gunsan in Jeonbuk, and Busan), investing 860 billion KRW to create over 1,100 new jobs.

Prime Minister Kim urged thorough prior preparation, including solidifying the business plan, so that the Daegu-type Job Creation project can be finally selected as a 'Win-Win Regional Job Creation,' as the first stage of the labor-management-civil-government win-win agreement has been successfully achieved.

The government also stated that it will communicate with local communities and actively resolve on-site difficulties to ensure that win-win regional job creation projects nationwide, including Daegu, proceed smoothly.
