With the launch of the 8th term of the elected government, the committee was fully expanded and reorganized through an ordinance amendment in January to enhance the city's competitiveness by strengthening policy research and development functions.

The newly revamped committee was initially formed with 50 members, including experts from various fields nationwide and diverse local field experts, and plans to gradually expand to 100 members in the future.

The committee is composed of three subcommittees (Future, Happiness, Vitality) and will act as a regional think tank by conducting policy research and advisory roles on all aspects of city administration such as economy and industry, culture and sports, health and welfare, and urban construction over two years.

To enhance the professionalism of policy research, the city invited bids for the operation of the committee from institutions with research capabilities, and the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Kumoh National Institute of Technology was finally selected.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, "I am grateful to the experts from all over the country who did not hesitate to travel far to participate in regional policy research," and added, "This 'New Hope＋ Gumi City Policy Research Committee,' composed of experts from various fields across the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region and nationwide, will join forces to help Gumi achieve a new leap forward in its economy and become a central city in the airport economic zone."

The Gumi Policy Development Center, established to serve as the core function for research, development, and policy research within the region, was opened at the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of Kumoh National Institute of Technology in line with the launch of the "Gumi City Policy Research Committee." The center will fully support the committee's operations and is expected to create significant synergy in discovering regional win-win cooperation policy tasks.
