Local Government-Led Investment Job Demand Customized Support Project Briefing Session.

The city plans to carry out projects for fostering and advancing the secondary battery industry through the 'Local Government-Led Investment Job Demand-Tailored Support Project.'

The local government-led investment job project is a government-announced win-win regional job project from February 2019, and Gumi City was selected for the project on December 29, 2021. Currently, it is implementing the investment attraction for LG-HY BCM Co., Ltd.'s secondary battery cathode material factory and a labor-management-government win-win agreement.

Additionally, a secondary battery industry-academia-research-government council has been formed, including secondary battery-related companies, Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Gumi Electronics and Information Technology Institute, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province, and Gumi City. The council plans to establish communication channels with companies demanding LG-HY BCM cathode material products, share information on workforce demand, and create a collaborative platform to discover systems and policies for industrial development.

The Gumi Electronics and Information Technology Institute will provide technical support to secondary battery companies. Technical support is divided into standalone type (support for product commercialization technology development for secondary battery materials, components, and applied products), cooperative type (support for technology development in collaboration between companies), technical guidance (expert technical guidance on company technical difficulties), and characteristic evaluation (testing and analysis support for produced prototypes).

Kumoh National Institute of Technology will conduct surveys on corporate demand for workforce training and operate on-site and specialized workforce education programs, supporting on-site training (internships) through corporate agreements.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho stated, “We expect this project to greatly contribute to strengthening the competitiveness and technological capabilities of secondary battery companies in the region, and we will do our best to help Gumi City grow into a pivotal city in the secondary battery sector.”
