[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] A 'Future Mobility and Bio Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovation Cluster' is being promoted in the Siheung Baegot District, one of the Gyeonggi Free Economic Zones.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 30th that the Gyeonggi Free Economic Zone Authority, a branch office under its jurisdiction, has been selected as the executing agency for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's public project, the 'Free Economic Zone Innovation Ecosystem Creation Project.'

The project to be carried out is the 'Future Mobility and Bio Artificial Intelligence Convergence Industry Innovation Ecosystem Infrastructure Project.' For the future mobility business, it involves establishing an industry-academia-research network in the fields of land, sea, and air unmanned mobility in the Baegot District and promoting the discovery of regulatory sandbox exceptions.

Support will also be provided reflecting the needs of resident companies, including certification, design and product improvement, domestic and international marketing, and investment attraction.

The bio artificial intelligence project is a business that holds forums, roundtable discussions, and seminars through an industry-academia-research network in the bio field.

These projects will be jointly conducted by the Gyeonggi Free Economic Zone Authority, Siheung City, Gyeonggi Industry-Academia Convergence Institute, Born2Global Center, and Seoul National University, with a total investment of 500 million won, including 350 million won in national funds and 150 million won in local funds.

In the Baegot District, following the establishment of research facilities for land, marine, and aerial unmanned mobility and drone specialist training facilities in 2020, the 'Siheung Baegot Seoul National University Hospital' construction project passed the preliminary feasibility evaluation by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in April last year and is currently under design.
