Gumi City in Gyeongbuk will hold meetings with leading semiconductor companies such as LG Innotek, SK Siltron, and Wonik Q&C for five days starting from the 29th.

LG Innotek, SK Siltron, Wonik Q&C and other leading semiconductor companies hold a meeting.

These meetings will be conducted individually with each company for in-depth discussions. They will share the future direction following the attraction of the semiconductor specialized complex and the priority support items for the complex. They will also gather opinions on semiconductor business management, including killer regulation improvements, R&D demand discovery, and infrastructure support, and seek solutions.

The city will discuss the suggestions and regulatory improvements raised during the meetings with relevant departments, actively request the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and establish a corporate support system by reflecting the budget if necessary.

To expedite the development and execution of the specialized complex project, a task force consisting of Gyeongbuk Province, Gumi City, private experts, schools, research institutes, and companies will be formed by September to proceed swiftly. The city has also proposed to Gyeongbuk Province the establishment of a dedicated organization for the semiconductor industry.

Additionally, to discover new projects in the local semiconductor industry and revitalize the cooperative ecosystem, a semiconductor company council will be formed to serve as a channel for cooperation between large corporations and small and medium materials, parts, and equipment companies, as well as exchanges with related organizations.

Mayor Kim Jang-ho stated, “For the successful creation of the semiconductor specialized complex, it is important to discover a collaborative model among industry, academia, research, and government.” He added, “We will do our best to strengthen mutual networks in connection with companies and find and reflect practical measures to enhance corporate competitiveness.”
