According to Yonhap News,

Daejeon's project to create a 'high-tech sensor industry hub city' is gaining momentum.

According to the city on August 14, the 'market-leading K-sensor technology development project' recently passed the preliminary feasibility study of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Evaluation and Planning (KISTEP).

The project aims to lay the foundation for advanced sensors by investing KRW 190 billion for 7 years from next year.

Daejeon plans to establish a high-tech sensor device manufacturing and reliability support center and a high-tech sensor device smart lab, which will be used as a platform to foster the high-tech sensor industry.

It envisions to make Daejeon a hub of high-tech sensor industry through the development of multiple customized smart sensor manufacturing platform technology and next-generation sensor device manufacturing and reliability support projects.

It also plans to accelerate the creation of a high-tech sensor-specialized industrial complex, a project it has been pushing forward for the first time in Korea. The city is currently undergoing necessary administrative procedures to build a high-tech sensor-specialized complex (73,000㎡) in Jangdae-dong area, Yuseong-gu by 2024.

The city intends to integrate the high-tech sensor companies by turning the Jangdae High-Tech Sensor-Specialized Complex into a base for fostering the K-sensor industry in such ways as producing customized products for demand companies, shortening the development period, and reducing production cost.

It will also build a high-tech sensors full-cycle support center, which will play the role of a base for nurturing the sensor industry. This will be built within the Innovation Growth Center, established by Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) in the Jangdae High-Tech Sensor-Specialized Complex, becoming the center of K-sensor Industry Complex equipped with tenant companies and place for communication, and open lab.

Daejeon's mayor said, "With the passing of this preliminary feasibility study, the foundation for nurturing the advanced sensor industry has been laid out," adding "we will put all our administrative capabilities in fostering the high-tech sensor industry which will contribute to creating jobs and revitalizing local economy."
