Janghang National Ecological Industrial Complex is being established to promote the regional growth of Chungnam’s southeast region by building a differentiated eco-friendly forward-looking multi-purpose industrial complex of the 21st century. It is composed of a life science technology cluster focusing on pharmaceutical manufacturing and R&D, a cutting-edge clean knowledge and technology cluster, a transportation industry cluster linked with industrial complexes in Gunsan, a community-friendly industrial cluster, and a beauty industry cluster. The first phase of development was completed in 2021, with the first and second halves of phase 2 to be completed by late 2023 and late 2025, respectively.

Janghang National Ecological Industrial Complex is located within 15 km of Gunsan Port, the logistics center connecting China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. Not only is it located less than 3 km away from Janghang Station, the first stop of the Janghang Cargo Line, the complex is connected to the southern region through Gunsan and Iksan. It is an optimal location for trade using transportation and logistics infrastructure as it is located within 21 km of Gunsan Airport and 8 km of Seocheon IC of Seohaean Expressway. A large-scale multi-purpose logistics complex will be build in the complex, through which it will emerge as the center of west coast logistics base.

Currently, the local government has designated auto parts, printed electronic parts, display, veterinary drugs and feed, and digital image content industries as the main industries, and a life science technology cluster has been established inside Janghang National Ecological Industrial Complex for specialization in bio materials and drugs. The plan is to build a marine bio cluster in the complex, in addition to a marine bio industry support center, bio knowledge industry center, and marine bio certification support center. The industrial infrastructure for the marine bio industry will be established by building a mass production plant producing marine bio materials.
