On the 8th, Governor Kim held an on-site meeting for the activation of future and bio industries at the Gyeonggi Bio Center of the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science in Suwon City. He said, "Since my time as president of Ajou University, I have envisioned creating a bio-cluster in Gwanggyo, and I am so happy that this dream is becoming closer to reality. The bio-industry in Gyeonggi Province is progressing in Gwanggyo, Siheung, Goyang, Seongnam, and Hwaseong, and Gwanggyo Technovalley serves as a hub connecting these five locations. We will develop it so that bio startups can settle in Gwanggyo and create the undisputed top bio-cluster in South Korea," emphasizing his commitment.

He added, "Let us work together to make Gwanggyo Technovalley not only a model and leader in Gyeonggi Province and South Korea but also internationally, creating a great history."

Kang Sung-cheon, President of the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science, announced plans to develop the former Bio-Organ Research Center site within Gwanggyo Technovalley to discover and nurture bio startups, establishing Gwanggyo as a key hub of the Gyeonggi metropolitan bio-cluster.

To this end, Gyeonggi Province plans to train 500 high-level research and development (R&D) specialists annually starting this year and actively promote administrative procedures for developing provincial property to support about 15 bio startups.

Gwanggyo Technovalley is a high-tech industrial complex located in Iui-dong, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon City, housing over 200 bio and health companies. The complex includes the Gyeonggi Institute of Economic Science, the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Institute, and the Korea Nano Technology Institute, playing a key role in enhancing the competitiveness and value of Gyeonggi Province’s future growth industries.
