Gumi City in Gyeongbuk plans to continue economic innovation centered on five major future new industries following semiconductors and defense industries by fostering a value chain in the robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors and establishing a mutual cooperation system with leading companies in these fields.


Gumi City is not satisfied with attracting consecutive large-scale national projects such as the semiconductor specialized complex and the defense innovation cluster. To promote investment attraction and economic exchange activities, it will dispatch a delegation to the United States from January 7 to 15.


On the 7th, the delegation will hold a meeting with the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Association in the Americas to exchange local information and discuss the activation of future exchange activities.


On the 8th, they will visit WET (Water Entertainment Technologies), a company specializing in the design and construction of special fountains located in California, and plan to apply the consultation for creating a representative landmark in Gumi to the development of local tourism infrastructure projects.


On the 9th, the delegation will move to Las Vegas to attend the global leading exhibition, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), visit domestic major companies such as LG Electronics, LG Display, and LG Innotek as well as local companies, and encourage the related personnel.


In particular, they will sign a “Business Agreement for Establishing the Gumi City Robotics Industry Ecosystem” with four leading domestic robotics and AI companies: LG Electronics, LIG Nex1, WeRobotics, and GUIL Engineering. Through this agreement, Gumi City and each partner company plan to actively engage in creating the value chain necessary for the robotics industry ecosystem and establishing a mutual cooperation system.


On the 10th, the delegation will visit the Gyeongbuk Eureka Pavilion and joint pavilion as well as the Samsung Electronics booth to observe future innovative technologies and encourage participating company representatives.


On the 11th, they will move to Denver, Colorado, to visit Company A, a target for investment, to explore plans for investment support, investment discussions, and regional development strategies. On the 12th, they will move to Los Angeles to invite local Korean businesspeople and discuss ways to activate private economic exchanges.



Mayor Kim Jang-ho said, “Through participation in this International Consumer Electronics Show, we expect it to be an opportunity to promote Gumi as the optimal place for future innovative industries such as semiconductors and robotics to many companies,” adding, “We will focus on attracting investment so that many innovative companies can settle in Gumi and do our best to strengthen the region’s capabilities.”
