[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 7th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that the Gyeongnam Technopark Nano Convergence Center located within the Miryang Nano Convergence National Industrial Complex has been registered as a member institution of the National Nano Infrastructure Council after approval by the council's board of directors.

The council is a corporation jointly authorized in 2011 by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (now the Ministry of Science and ICT) and the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (now the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy).

Its purpose is to activate a cooperative system among research facilities in the field of nanotechnology to support research and development and workforce training. Membership is granted to research facilities with construction costs exceeding 30 billion KRW, including national funding.

Six institutions, including the Daejeon Nano Comprehensive Technology Institute, were existing members, and this time six new members, including the Miryang Nano Convergence Center, were added. The Miryang Nano Convergence Center was established in August 2019 with an investment of approximately 79 billion KRW, including construction costs, located at 761 Muan-ro, Bubuk-myeon.

It is equipped with 17 major pieces of equipment necessary for developing applied products based on nano molding. Currently, 19 companies and institutions reside there, dedicating themselves to technology development and applied product development in the nano field.

The city expects that the registration of the Nano Convergence Center as a council member will help solidify its status as a support institution for the nanotechnology field in the southeastern region in the future.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, "By joining the National Nano Infrastructure Council, we will firmly establish our status as a support institution for the nanotechnology field in the southeastern region," adding, "We will spare no effort to support the commercialization of nano-related projects for companies residing in the Nano Convergence National Industrial Complex and local businesses."
