[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City has been selected for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's public project, the ‘Industrial Complex Environment Improvement Infrastructure Construction Project,’ securing 9.7 billion KRW in national funding over three years.

The ‘Industrial Complex Environment Improvement Infrastructure Construction Project’ is aimed at providing rapid response and technical support to small and medium manufacturing enterprises facing difficulties due to recently strengthened environmental laws and regulations.

The city designated Sinpyeong and Jangrim industrial complexes as pilot project sites in collaboration with Busan Technopark, Korea Environmental Testing & Research Institute, and Busan Machinery Industry Cooperative.

Over the next three years starting this year, a total project cost of 18.7 billion KRW, including 9.7 billion KRW in national funding, will be invested to establish the ‘Busan Industrial Complex Environment Improvement Support Center’ to reduce air pollutants and support related companies.
