Establishment of Implementation Plan for Fostering and Supporting the Semiconductor Industry
Creating a Foundation to Attract Global Semiconductor Companies

Yongin Special City in Gyeonggi Province will provide policy support for Samsung Electronics' establishment of the Ildong-Namsa system semiconductor cluster.


On the 20th, Yongin City announced that it has established the '2023 Semiconductor Industry Promotion and Support Implementation Plan.' This is an annual detailed plan of the 'Yongin City Comprehensive Plan for Semiconductor Industry Promotion (2023-2026)' formulated by the city last December. It aims to systematize the semiconductor industry promotion projects being carried out by each department and enhance detailed execution capabilities.

The newly prepared plan sets the goal of successfully establishing the 'Yongin (Ildong-Namsa) Advanced System Semiconductor Cluster National Industrial Complex' and attracting semiconductor companies to transform Yongin into a top-tier competitive semiconductor city.


The plan establishes five key tasks: ▲building a system and establishing support policies for semiconductor industry promotion ▲supporting the creation of the national industrial complex ▲forming Yongin's 'L-shaped semiconductor belt' ▲developing the Yongin semiconductor cluster general industrial complex and infrastructure ▲supporting semiconductor company attraction and foundation projects, with 23 detailed projects specified under each task.


Specifically, to build a system and provide policy support for semiconductor industry promotion, the city will implement detailed projects such as ▲operating the 'Semiconductor Industry Competitiveness Enhancement Committee' ▲supporting participation in semiconductor conferences and exhibitions ▲supporting semiconductor companies' technology protection ▲subsidizing usage fees for demonstration equipment for semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment companies ▲supporting the establishment of Yongin Semiconductor Meister High School.


To ensure smooth progress in establishing the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex, the city will operate the 'National Industrial Complex Development Support Task Force' and significantly expand surrounding road networks, including ▲installing an alternative road for National Road 82 ▲constructing and expanding National Road 45 ▲constructing and expanding Local Road 321.


The city will also promote the semiconductor highway private investment project, secure tailored industrial area volumes for industrial agglomeration, and advance the creation of the GTX (Great Train Express) Yongin Station semiconductor-specialized international conference complex district.


To revitalize the semiconductor cluster general industrial complex under development in Wonsam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, the city will attract excellent companies to the cooperative complex, timely implement public wastewater treatment facilities within the industrial complex, and expand related transportation facilities.


Additionally, through providing customized support services for companies, supporting the establishment of Samsung Electronics' future research complex, creating and operating the public testbed Wonsam mini fab, and developing the Yongin semiconductor cooperative general industrial complex, the city plans to attract outstanding semiconductor companies.



Mayor Lee Sang-il of Yongin said, “Through the implementation of this plan, Yongin will take on the role of securing the nation's future competitiveness.”
