Finding future growth engines by attracting new industry businesses
The Gumi National Industrial Complex, which led Korea's textile and electronics industries in the 1970s, has been taking the lead in upgrading Korea’s industrial structure by concentrating on semiconductors and computers in the 1980s and focusing on IT and mobile industries from the 2000s. Following Complex 4 which focused on new industries such as LEDs and secondary batteries, Complex 5 was established in 2000 where semiconductor-related companies such as SK Siltron and LG Innotek are scheduled to relocate. Moreover, the Complex is expected to continue growing as it had successfully attracted leading players such as LG BCM (EV batteries) and KOLON (advanced materials, secondary batteries).
Supporting the growth of businesses through a major renovation
Currently, the Gumi National Industrial Complex is at the center of change with the confirmed relocation of Daegu and Gyeongbuk New Airport, the establishment of an industrial complex specializing in Metabus, and the establishment of an innovative ecosystem for semiconductor convergence parts. With Gumi as the hub, an ICT materials and parts cluster linking the Gimcheon 1, Waegwan, and Seongju Industrial Complexes will be developed to evolve from the existing cluster covering electronics, machinery, and automobile parts to one specializing in 5G RF modules, e-mobility, and special environmental clothing. The transformation will not only revive the electronic industry but also nurture the car industry of the future and enable the Complex to emerge as a global export base.
