The Second Deputy Mayor of Goyang stated, "Knowledge industry centers are a crucial pillar supporting the local economy," adding, "We will develop practical support measures to help businesses settle stably and grow, and will actively reflect on-site feedback in city governance to create a business-friendly environment."

Goyang City plans to systematically operate and manage the knowledge industry center through quarterly status checks. In particular, the city recently announced the third phase of expanding the range of business types eligible to move into knowledge industry centers, now permitting the headquarters of mid-sized or larger companies in the manufacturing and other industries, education support service businesses, and a total of six additional business categories. Through regulatory easing, the city aims to attract leading companies connected to Ilsan Techno Valley and Changneung District, fostering the knowledge industry center as a key hub for realizing a self-sufficient city.

A Goyang City official stated, "The knowledge industry center is an important hub that provides optimal work environments and infrastructure for resident companies," adding, "We will continue field-oriented communication and administrative support so that the knowledge industry center can become a new industrial hub for the local economy."
