This agreement is expected to serve as a significant opportunity to strengthen the future agricultural competitiveness of Goyang City by connecting the city's ongoing smart agriculture policies with the innovative capabilities of the private sector.

Under the agreement, the two parties agreed to cooperate on the following: establishing a foundation for smart agriculture, administrative and institutional collaboration, demonstration and expansion of private-led smart farm models, and strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation with local farmers and businesses.

Netogreen Co., Ltd., a smart farm company, currently operates two vertical smart farms at the Goyang Knowledge Industry Center and plans to expand this number to 10 locations by 2025 and 50 locations by 2026 in phases. The company also plans to build large-scale smart farm demonstration facilities focused on fruits and vegetables, as well as production and distribution bases.

Through these efforts, the city expects to continuously secure demonstration spaces for smart agriculture within the urban area and lay the foundation to grow as a key hub for smart agriculture.

Mayor Lee Donghwan stated, "I deeply appreciate that Netogreen has chosen Goyang City as a core hub for future agriculture," adding, "The city will spare no administrative and institutional support to ensure that this agreement leads to tangible results."

The city also plans to continue expanding private-led investments in smart agriculture and urban-rural demonstration models, positioning smart agriculture development policies as a central pillar moving forward.
