Investment Attraction Guide Cover

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has published the "Investment Attraction Guide," which compiles information and know-how related to investment attraction.

Published to mark the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Gyeonggi Province's investment attraction department, this book was co-authored by current and former investment attraction officers who have worked in Gyeonggi Province.

This book organizes information and know-how gained from the experiences of investment attraction officers by topic, including ▲Introduction and strategies for investment attraction ▲International business and protocol ▲Site selection and permit guide ▲Analysis of successful investment attraction cases. It also contains detailed manuals on overseas investment attraction dispatch work, legal interpretations, Q&A, and information necessary for actual work.

In particular, it summarizes know-how that can achieve an average of 12 successful investment attraction cases per year and a total investment performance of up to 2 trillion won.

Lee Min-woo, head of the Investment Promotion Division of the province, said, "The existing investment attraction handbook was composed of theoretical content such as legal explanations and procedures, but this handbook candidly describes the investment attraction information and know-how learned through trial and error." He added, "We plan to utilize the 'Investment Attraction Guide' to promote workshops for city and county investment attraction officers as well as network days to share regional investment attraction know-how."

Meanwhile, the province was recognized by the government for its investment attraction achievements and received the 2022 Best Investment Attraction Presidential Award, evaluated among 16 metropolitan cities and provinces.

From June 2019 to May this year, over three years, it attracted foreign investment from 36 companies totaling 8.9 trillion won. Employment creation resulting from this reached about 26,000 people.

Recently, it achieved continuous success in attracting the world's top semiconductor equipment manufacturers, including ASML, the Netherlands' only global extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment manufacturer, as well as AMAT, Lam Research, and KLA-Denko, ranked first to fourth worldwide.
