Gyeongbuk Technopark (Gyeongbuk TP) has announced the full-scale operation of the '2026 Gyeongbuk Region Investment and Financing Council' to revitalize the region-led investment ecosystem. The organization has declared its ambition to evolve beyond simple information exchange and become a practical 'investment platform.'
This council has been established in line with the government's recent expansion of region-focused investment policies, such as the National Growth Fund and the Local Era Fund.

Starting this year, Gyeongbuk TP has introduced a two-track system: the 'Investment Strategy Council,' which is responsible for policy fund analysis and fund planning, and the 'Joint Investment Council,' which handles investment review as well as joint and follow-up investment connections.
Through the joint operation of the Investment Strategy Council and Joint Investment Council, Gyeongbuk TP plans to establish an investment system that covers investment design, investment review, and joint or follow-up investments.
Beginning this month, the Gyeongbuk Region Investment and Financing Council will operate a continuous investment linkage system throughout the year through programs such as IR pitching and investment forums.
In addition, Gyeongbuk TP intends to continuously discover and secure promising companies to be considered for investment by linking with other projects operated by Gyeongbuk TP.
Through this council, Gyeongbuk TP will accelerate the establishment of a unique, self-sustaining investment ecosystem in Gyeongbuk, focusing on three main goals: securing the foundation for policy fund inflow, achieving tangible investment attraction results, and establishing a growth pathway from investment to growth to IPO (listing).
Ha Inseong, President of Gyeongbuk TP, stated, "We will advance the Gyeongbuk Region Investment and Financing Council to become a core platform that connects regional investment decision-making and capital flows, going beyond a simple cooperation network." He added, "We will continue to build the foundation for local companies to grow from investment to IPO (listing)."
