This agreement was promoted to support the stable settlement and expanded investment of CNJ Healthcare Co., which relocated its headquarters to Uijeongbu, and to establish a foundation for industry-academia cooperation and the utilization of local talent necessary for the company's growth process.

CNJ Healthcare Co. is a specialized company that serves as an official partner of the global healthcare group Solventum Korea and 3M Korea, supplying medical devices and pharmaceuticals and providing infection prevention solutions. In June of this year, the company invested approximately 4 billion won to relocate its headquarters from Seoul to Uijeongbu, and it plans to further expand its manufacturing and technology base and pursue mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within Uijeongbu in the future.

The city plans to establish a customized support system covering location, institutional, and administrative aspects to ensure smooth follow-up investment activities by the company, and to develop this into an investment attraction model that strengthens the local industrial base.

Kyungmin IT High School is in the process of reorganizing its academic departments with the goal of fostering talent in medical-IT convergence, while Uijeongbu Technical High School is revising its curriculum to focus on future mobility and smart manufacturing, and is preparing to change its name to "Korea Mobility High School."

Both schools are expected to become core educational foundations for cultivating the technical workforce needed in local industries, in line with the city's direction of attracting investment in advanced industries.

Based on this educational infrastructure, the city plans to create an industrial ecosystem in which corporate investment, talent development, and job creation form a virtuous cycle.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "Creating an environment where companies can take root and grow in Uijeongbu is a key strategy for revitalizing the local economy," adding, "We will make Uijeongbu not just a city where companies stay, but a city where growth occurs and where talent and jobs grow together."
