The contract covers the G-2 and G-3 industrial facility blocks within the Techno Valley, with a total area of 10,760 square meters. Seojeong University plans to build facilities on the site that link industry-academic cooperation with research and development functions.

Seojeong University plans to gradually implement industry-academic cooperation programs for companies moving into the Techno Valley, including curricula that reflect corporate needs, on-site training linked to recruitment, joint research, and technical consulting.

Gyeonggi Yangju Techno Valley is an advanced industrial complex being jointly developed by Yangju-si, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corporation (GH), and Gyeonggi Province in the Majeon-dong area of Yangju-si. It covers 218,000 square meters (approximately 70,000 pyeong). The complex is being developed as a mixed-use district that combines work, residential, leisure, and educational functions, focusing on high-tech manufacturing and information and communications technology (ICT) industries.

Yangju-si explained that the confirmation of Seojeong University’s move is the second finalized case following the first tenancy contract signed last December by the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation’s Northern Gyeonggi Headquarters. The city expects that as tenancy contracts continue, they will also have an impact on lot sales and corporate attraction within the Techno Valley.

An official from Yangju-si said, "We expect that the relocation of Seojeong University will strengthen the foundation for industry-academic cooperation," adding, "We will work with relevant institutions to ensure that the development and sale of Gyeonggi Yangju Techno Valley proceed without a hitch."
