SK hynix is hosting a large-scale event to express gratitude to 30,000 members and families of its key partners. The initiative aims to go beyond technical and financial support by directly thanking the employees and their families.
On October 15, SK hynix announced that it will hold 'ThanksFULL Day' at Seoul Land in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, with approximately 30,000 participants, including over 8,000 members from more than 130 partner companies.
The event will feature family experience programs and activities centered around the themes of 'companionship' and 'gratitude.' Children attending will receive 'kids goods,' including 3D crafts modeled after semiconductor fabs.
CEO Kwak No-jung, along with other key executives such as Cha Sun-yong, head of the Future Technology Research Institute, and Lee Byeong-gi, head of mass production, will be present to convey their appreciation to the partner employees and their families.
Earlier in July, SK hynix announced plans to utilize a 1.4 trillion won support fund over the next five years to assist partners throughout all stages of growth, from technology development to testing, mass production, and sales.
The company is also providing technical support. It operates an 'R&D Challenge Compensation System' for partners facing financial burdens and runs an 'IPR Sharing Support Center' to share patents. A 'Trinity Fab' is being established in the Yongin semiconductor cluster for joint research and verification with partners, set to open in 2027.
From a financial perspective, SK hynix is offering low-interest funds through its 'Co-Growth Fund.' Ahead of this year's Chuseok holiday, the company expedited payments of approximately 304.7 billion won to partner companies.
CEO Kwak stated, "Partners are valuable companions in building K-semiconductor competitiveness. While expressing gratitude to the members and their families, we will continue to provide practical support to help partners enhance their technological competitiveness and achieve stable growth."
