The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced on December 7 that it held the "2025 Automotive Industry Win-Win Cooperation Agreement Expansion Support Project Performance Meeting."


The meeting, held on December 5, was attended by executives, employees, and officials from related organizations, including Hyundai and Kia partner companies such as Hyuntae Mold Co., Ltd. and Eunhye Enterprise Co., Ltd., which are based in Gwangju Metropolitan City. In addition to sharing the main achievements of this year's project, participants discussed effective support measures to help local companies continue to grow sustainably in the future.


Companies attending the meeting shared their opinions on practical needs at the field level, such as support for safety equipment and facilities, assistance with hiring skilled workers, and support for recruiting foreign workers.


The "Automotive Industry Win-Win Cooperation Agreement Expansion Support Project" is part of a regional industry-tailored job creation support initiative, backed by Gwangju City and the Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office. The project aims to alleviate workforce shortages in the local automotive industry and reduce welfare gaps between companies by improving working conditions.


The project also expanded the scale of the shared facility improvement initiative-which received strong positive feedback from local automotive companies and workers last year-so that more companies could improve their working environments. This initiative covers facilities such as dormitories, restrooms, and lounges.


In addition, the project provided support funds for growth, retention, and settlement to companies in the automotive sector to promote new hiring and help new employees settle in stably, as well as offered health checkup subsidies to improve the welfare of current employees.



A representative from the Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated, "This project has helped alleviate the imbalance in working conditions between large and small companies in the local automotive industry and has provided practical assistance in addressing the workforce shortage, which has been cited as the biggest challenge in the field." "We will continue to discover and implement practical support measures that both workers and companies can truly feel, in order to support balanced development across the region's key industries."
