The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced that Minister Kim Yoon-deok attended the 'Jeonbuk-Saemangeum Land and Transportation R&D Briefing' at Jeonbuk National University's 77th Anniversary Hall on September 4, where he engaged with local businesses and researchers.
This event was organized to address inquiries from local companies regarding participation in national R&D and demonstration projects, following a business meeting held on July 22 in Saemangeum.
Participants in the previous meeting included representatives from investment companies in Saemangeum, such as Hyundai Motor Group and LS ENF, as well as local businesses and university officials. They proposed expanding government support for research and development and demonstration projects.
At that time, Minister Kim stated, “It is time to resolve the distrust that has arisen during the Saemangeum development process and to build solid trust. We will support large-scale investments by companies to lead to the growth of local businesses.”
During the briefing, the Saemangeum Development Agency presented the current status of investments and cooperative efforts, while the Ministry of Land outlined its investment directions for Land and Transportation R&D this year. The Korea Agency for Land and Infrastructure Technology Advancement provided guidance on how local businesses and researchers can participate in R&D and access support programs.
Minister Kim emphasized, “This briefing was created to fulfill our promises regarding the requests of local businesses. The Ministry will serve as a strong channel to ensure that the potential of excellent local companies and researchers is not limited by barriers to information.”
