The provincial government plans to attract investment in the Osong Bio Valley as well as the North Chungcheong Province Free Economic Zone centering on developing Osong County, Chungju City, and Cheongju International Airport. It also plans to promote the participation of U.S. companies by introducing the Cosmetics & Beauty Expo, to be held in Osong on May 3.
