As the need for administrative integration in the southwestern region of Jeonnam is emerging as a solution for attracting RE100 industrial complexes, a strategic policy forum focusing on the integration of Mokpo, Muan, and Shinan will be held.

The Mokpo Shinan Integration Promotion Committee and the Local Autonomy Research Institute of Mokpo National University announced on the 22nd that they will hold a policy forum titled "MuAn Peninsula Integration and RE100 Industrial Complex Attraction Strategy" at 3:30 p.m. on the 24th at the Glocal Startup Center Convention Hall of Mokpo National University.

This forum has been organized based on a consensus that the integration of the MuAn Peninsula could serve as a foundation not only for responding to the risk of regional extinction, but also for attracting RE100 industries in line with the global shift in energy policy.

The event will begin with opening remarks by Ko Seokgyu, Chair of the Mokpo Shinan Integration Promotion Committee. Lee Soonhyung, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Dongshin University and Director of the Energy Convergence Technology Research Institute, will deliver a keynote presentation on "RE100 Industrial Complex Attraction Strategy and MuAn Peninsula Integration." Professor Lee will analyze domestic and international cases of RE100 industrial complex development and location requirements, emphasizing that the MuAn Peninsula region is the optimal site for RE100.

In the subsequent discussion, Jo Okhyun, a member of the Jeonnam Provincial Council, will serve as moderator. Council members Choi Junghoon, Na Gwangguk, and Choi Misook, along with Jo Sunhee, Director of Industrial Complex Development at Jeonnam Province, will participate as panelists to discuss administrative, policy, and regional issues from multiple perspectives. Director Jo is expected to present an institutional perspective on the potential linkage between industrial policy and administrative integration.

Chair Ko Seokgyu stated, "The RE100 Industrial Complex Special Act being promoted by the government is a golden opportunity for the southwestern region," adding, "Mokpo, Muan, and Shinan must be integrated into a single MuAn Peninsula to secure a real competitive advantage in attracting industries."

Professor Lee Soonhyung also emphasized, "The RE100 industrial complex is not merely about energy transition; it is a strategic industrial platform that aligns with the era of global supply chain restructuring. Through administrative integration, we can achieve unity in attraction plans and maximize the concentration of incentives."

Meanwhile, this forum marks the first official occasion for the political sector, administrative agencies, and academia to jointly discuss the dual pillars of MuAn Peninsula integration and RE100 industrial complex attraction, drawing attention as a potential turning point in the discourse on regional integration.
