The signing ceremony was attended by Yangju Mayor Yang Soo-hyun, GH Head of Balanced Development Oh Wan-seok, Korea Electrical Safety Corporation Director of Management Support Seo Young-hwan, and about 10 other officials. Together, they expressed their commitment to developing Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley as a key hub in the new industrial ecosystem of northern Gyeonggi Province.

Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley is a high-tech industrial complex of 218,000 square meters (approximately 70,000 pyeong) jointly developed by Yangju City, GH, and Gyeonggi Province in the Majon-dong area of Yangju. It is being established as an innovation hub in northern Gyeonggi, equipped with a complex infrastructure for work, residence, leisure, and education, based on advanced manufacturing and ICT industries.

The Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, a leading public institution in the field of electrical and energy safety, has been driving innovation in advanced safety management by introducing AI and big data-based accident prevention systems. It has also led the establishment of safety infrastructure in future energy sectors such as renewable energy and ESS. Yangju City expects that this move-in will help Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley take a leap forward as a smart industrial complex that combines safety and innovation.

Under the agreement, the three organizations will jointly promote electrical safety management and technical support for the industrial complex, provide inspection, certification, and technical consulting services to tenant companies, and support the introduction of AI and big data-based electrical safety systems. In the future, they will also cooperate to foster local youth talent and create an ecosystem for technological innovation through joint research with nearby universities and research institutes, as well as by operating specialized electrical safety education and internship programs.

Since 2023, Yangju City has been working with GH and Gyeonggi Province to help Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley establish itself as an innovation hub in northern Gyeonggi. Efforts have included identifying target industries for attraction, formulating phased implementation strategies, and conducting tailored investment promotion activities.

Mayor Yang Soo-hyun stated, "The move-in of the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation Gyeonggi Northern Headquarters to Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley will not only enhance the safety and reliability of the industrial complex, but also serve as a symbolic starting point for opening a new industrial ecosystem in northern Gyeonggi. Yangju City, together with GH and the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation, will establish an innovation cluster where public institutions, high-tech companies, universities, and research institutes come together to provide quality jobs for local youth and lead the balanced development of northern Gyeonggi Province."

Yangju City plans to continue focusing its administrative capabilities on attracting outstanding companies, research institutes, universities, and public institutions to major industrial hubs such as Gyeonggi Yangju Technovalley and Eunnam General Industrial Complex, in order to realize its vision of becoming "a city that is business-friendly and overflowing with jobs."
