Yeosu National Industrial Complex Samdong District Named 'Yeosu Mirae Innovation District'

Brand Name Selection Decided Through Contest, Preference Survey, and Jury Evaluation

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Jeollanam-do Yeosu City (Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong) announced on the 29th that it has decided on the brand name "Yeosu Future Innovation District," reflecting the characteristics and future vision of the Samdong District in Yeosu National Industrial Complex.

The legal name "Yeosu National Industrial Complex Samdong District" was a uniform name based on the regional name, which had limitations in conveying the future vision of the Samdong District.

Accordingly, Yeosu City conducted a nationwide public contest and a citizen preference survey starting in October, followed by evaluations by internal and external judges, and finally confirmed the brand name as "Yeosu Future Innovation District."

"Yeosu Future Innovation District" carries the meaning of being a center of innovation aimed at fostering the region's future industries and leading the sustainable growth of the industrial complex.

"Yeosu Future Innovation District" is an industrial complex concentrated with research and support institutions linked to the Yeosu National Industrial Complex. It began development in 2017, completed 57 lots in June 2019, and is currently being leased.

Currently, the Jeonnam Yeosu Industry-Academy Convergence Center, Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, and Korea Construction Living Environment Testing & Research Institute are located there. In the future, research and development institutions such as the Jeonnam Technopark Biodegradable Polymer Center, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (Petrochemical Catalyst Process Demonstration Center, Carbon Neutral Chemical Process Demonstration Center), and Chonnam National University Process Innovation Simulation Center are expected to move in one after another.

A city official said, "We hope that with the selection of this brand name, the 'Yeosu Future Innovation District' will take a step forward as a new growth engine leading the regional economy. We plan to attract more research and support institutions to lead the future innovation industry."
