A general complex evolving in line with the changing times
A major remodeling program is being planned to link the Munmak Bangye General Industrial Complex, nearby Donghwa and Taejang, Ucheon (Hoengseong) and the Wonju Enterprise City and to build an ecosystem for new growth industries focused on e-mobility and medical healthcare. Moreover, medium-scale R&D projects and technology transfer projects will be supported to nurture e-mobility and bio and medical businesses. In addition, a consortium was established to build the Gangwon Wonju Industry-University Convergence District by 2025 to bring together industrial complexes and universities and build a field-oriented industry-university convergence education system.
New growth engine created through technology transfer
Currently in the Wonju area, industry-university mini clusters specializing in auto parts and medical devices are in operation, and the plan is to further expand the medical devices area to medical diagnostic devices and convergence medical devices. By supporting technology transfers and their commercialization, the mini clusters are leading the effort to domestically-develop imported products in line with the government’s emphasis on nurturing the nation’s materials, parts and equipment industries. Moreover, smart manufacturing R&D projects are implemented to support the sharing of manufacturing data between partnering businesses and the automation of manufacturing processes.
