Hyundai Motor Group is establishing a temporary office at the Future Mobility Tech Center in Gunsan, North Jeolla Province.


According to industry sources, including the North Jeolla Provincial Government, Hyundai will open the office on the 29th at the Future Mobility Tech Center located in Osikdo-dong, Gunsan.


Approximately five staff members will be stationed at the temporary office to support Saemangeum investments, oversee factory construction, and assess living conditions.


Hyundai is investing a total of 9 trillion won to develop the Saemangeum area into a hub for future industries combining AI, robotics, and hydrogen energy. The company plans to begin construction on an AI data center, a robotics manufacturing and parts cluster, hydrogen production facilities, and solar power plants by 2029.


In February, Hyundai Motor Group signed an investment agreement with the government and the North Jeolla Provincial Government regarding Saemangeum. The group expects this investment to generate approximately 16 trillion won in economic impact and create 71,000 direct and indirect jobs.
