CJ OliveNetworks Collaborates on ICT Infrastructure Development in Gyeongsangbuk-do Airport New City and Industrial Complex

CJ OliveNetworks announced on the 26th that it has signed a strategic business agreement with Gyeongsangbuk-do to successfully establish the airport economic zone and airport new city linked to Daegu Gyeongbuk Airport.

Scheduled to open in 2030, Daegu Gyeongbuk Airport is the first integrated civilian-military relocation project in Korea, moving both K-2 Air Base and Daegu International Airport simultaneously. It will be developed over an area of 16.9㎢ (5.11 million pyeong) in the vicinity of Uiseong-gun and Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk.

Gyeongsangbuk-do plans to create a new city on a 3.3 million㎡ (1 million pyeong) site adjacent to the airport in Uiseong, where about 15,000 military personnel, their families, and others will reside. The airport new city will include four zones: a smart air logistics complex, an aviation industry cluster, an agricultural food industry cluster, and a mobility-specialized city (M-City) incorporating advanced technologies such as information and communication technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI), aiming to function as a logistics and industrial hub for the central and southern regions.

Under this agreement, CJ OliveNetworks and Gyeongsangbuk-do will cooperate to successfully develop the airport new city and industrial complexes linked to Daegu Gyeongbuk Airport.

Detailed cooperation includes ▲providing lifestyle, cultural services, and ICT infrastructure services for the airport-type smart city ▲supporting IT new technology convergence space design and content for the airport new city ▲collaborating in smart manufacturing and logistics in the aviation logistics and aircraft maintenance industrial complexes ▲supporting the establishment of the agricultural food industry cluster.

Additionally, CJ OliveNetworks will support the creation of a digital convergence cultural and artistic space at the Uiseong Tourism Cultural Complex (Uiseong Land) and operate the ‘CJ SW Creative Camp’ education program to help local students in Uiseong grow into AI talents, addressing educational disparities between regions.

Yoo In-sang, CEO of CJ OliveNetworks, said, “Based on the DX and data new technologies possessed by CJ OliveNetworks, we plan to participate in the airport new city and industrial complex development projects promoted by Gyeongsangbuk-do. We will closely cooperate with Gyeongsangbuk-do by establishing ICT infrastructure in the airport-type smart city and supporting smart manufacturing and logistics systems within the industrial complexes.”

Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do, said, “We plan to incorporate companies’ know-how from the planning stage of the Uiseong airport new city to build it as a core hub city of the airport economic zone that will expand beyond Daegu Gyeongbuk to the world.”
