The government, local authorities in the Chungcheong region, and major investment companies convened to discuss the implementation of investments in advanced industries. This meeting aims to expedite the 392 trillion won investment announced at the National Report Meeting on the Vision for Advanced Industries in the Chungcheong region.
On July 30, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held the first meeting of the 'Chungcheong Advanced Strategic Industries Leap Task Force' (Chungdae TF) to discuss strategies for leading the advanced industries in the region.
The Chungdae TF is a follow-up to the National Report Meeting on the Vision for Advanced Industries held on July 2 at Samsung Display's Asan Campus. The meeting was chaired by the head of the Ministry's Industrial Policy Office and included directors from relevant ministries, deputy mayors from four cities and provinces in the Chungcheong region, and executives from investment companies.
During the meeting, participants discussed the operational plan for the Chungdae TF, overall investment plans from companies, support measures for businesses in South Chungcheong, SK's investment plans in the Chungcheong region, and recommendations to the government. Companies emphasized the need for government support, including stable supply of water and electricity, expanded tax benefits, and infrastructure development, to ensure timely results from investments in the Chungcheong region. The government pledged to work collaboratively with local authorities to swiftly address any challenges to ensure the smooth execution of investment plans.
The Chungdae TF plans to strengthen cooperation among the central government, local governments, and investment companies to make the 392 trillion won investment visible as soon as possible. To this end, the task force will hold regular monthly meetings and aims to announce a 'comprehensive support plan for corporate investment in the Chungcheong region' within 100 days.
Park Dong-il, head of the Ministry's Industrial Policy Office, stated, "The Chungcheong region is a hub where people, technology, and industries converge, and its growth will lead to the growth of South Korea. We will do our utmost to ensure that the central government, local governments, and companies work as one team to achieve timely results from the investment plans."
