This agreement was made based on a consensus between Pocheon City and the industry to respond to the China-origin drone parts crisis faced by the domestic drone industry and to strengthen the development and production system of drones that can be manufactured at low cost.

According to the agreement, Pocheon City and participating organizations will cooperate in various fields such as introducing new technologies and research and development for the establishment of the cooperative district (cluster), attracting resident companies, domestic production of drone parts, and building a production system.

Since July, Pocheon City has continued cooperation with public, private, military, industrial, academic, and research sectors aiming at the establishment of the Advanced Drone Industrial Complex, infrastructure construction, promotion of educational projects, and establishment of research institutes. To successfully carry out these projects, the city has promoted the creation of the K-Defense Drone MP&E Specialized Cluster.

Mayor Baek Young-hyun of Pocheon said, "This agreement will be an important first step for Pocheon City to leap forward as a center of advanced technology and industry," adding, "We will continuously communicate with the agreement institutions for the fostering and development of the drone MP&E industry and will spare no effort in active support and cooperation."
