Previously, on the 1st of last month, Gyeongbuk Technopark held a briefing for the designation of the 'Gyeongbuk Cell-cultured Food Regulation-Free Special Zone Project' together with Gyeongbuk Province and Uiseong-gun.

As the main institution overseeing the project, which began this month, it has been designated as a demonstration special zone, including the Bio Valley General Industrial Complex in Uiseong-gun, and is striving for the commercialization of cell-cultured foods and innovative growth in new industries.

The association, established in Singapore in 2022, works with around 10 member companies from various Asian countries (China, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Singapore, Korea) involved in cell-cultured foods.

Through this agreement, the parties pledged to cooperate in securing global growth engines for the cell-cultured industry, including: ▲collaboration on regulatory-related technologies for global standards of food safety, efficacy, and quality; ▲support and cooperation on know-how and the latest information regarding global regulations for cell-cultured foods; and ▲joint development of documents to promote the safe perception of cell-cultured foods.

Ha Inseong, President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, said, "We expect that this business agreement will help establish a global network cooperation system and support the global expansion of domestic cell-cultured food companies, as well as mutual growth with related companies in each country."
