Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will hold a strategic seminar to support local companies seeking to enter the procurement markets of its U.S. sister cities.

On August 27, Yongin City will host the 'U.S. Market Entry Strategy Seminar' at the HL Human Resources Development Center in Giheung-gu, inviting officials from its U.S. sister cities, the city announced on August 11.

The seminar will feature representatives from the Williamson County Economic Development Office in Texas, with which Yongin formed a sisterhood last year, and from the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority in Virginia, with which it established a friendship agreement this year. They will introduce strategies for entering local procurement markets and present support policies specific to each county.

Williamson County is an administrative region overseeing 27 cities, including Taylor, where Samsung Electronics' foundry semiconductor production line (Fab) is currently under construction. Fairfax County borders the capital, Washington, D.C., and encompasses 75 cities, including McLean.

This seminar follows Yongin Mayor Lee Sangil's visit to both regions in January this year, during which the city established sisterhood and friendship agreements and agreed to strengthen exchange and cooperation.

The seminar will cover strategies for entering the U.S. government procurement market, an introduction to the business environment and government support programs of the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, and an explanation of the industrial vision and investment environment of Williamson County. One-on-one consulting sessions tailored to each county will also be provided to companies that register in advance. Companies wishing to participate can apply by scanning the QR code on the promotional poster and filling out the Google Form.

Mayor Lee said, "This seminar will provide practical information and assistance to Yongin-based companies considering entry into the U.S. procurement market," adding, "By strengthening cooperation with these two regions, which are core areas for the U.S. semiconductor and other fourth industrial sectors, we will help our companies enter the U.S. market smoothly."
