Gumi National Industrial Complex: A Digital Industrial Complex Embracing IT, AI and Advanced Manufacturing Methods
Complexes to transform their infrastructure into a digital and low-carbon environment and foster industrial complexes as local-led innovation centers. 18 industrial complexes were selected nationwide, including the Gumi National Industrial Complex, where various projects are currently ongoing.
At the Gumi National Industrial Complex, projects such as the operation of the Process Innovation Simulation Center*, the operation of the Smart Green Industrial Complex Integrated Control Center**, and the structural upgrading project to improve the environment of the old infrastructure have been carried out.
As a part the government’s Smart Green Industrial Complex Project, the Gumi National Industrial Complex has been conducting the Advanced Manufacturing Robot Demonstration Project as a pilot project since 2023 in partnership with the Process Innovation Simulation Center. This project targets small and medium-sized enterprises that need to improve the manufacturing environment by deploying robot process models and introducing them to production sites.
In 2023, with about KRW 0.9 billion of national and local budgets, three companies introduced manufacturing robots to their manufacturing processes with the help of specialized consultants and achieved results in improving productivity. In 2024, eight more companies will join the project with a total project cost of KRW 1.1 billion.
This project is expected to accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and deployment of advanced manufacturing robots and help companies meet actual demand. These projects will help unfold a new heyday for the Gumi National Industrial Complex.

The Gumi National Industrial Complex was built to grow the nation’s electronics and semiconductor industries, and consists of five complexes. Complex 1 is for the textile and electronics industries, and Complexes 2 through 4 are for semiconductor and electronics companies. Complex 5 is currently under construction and will house secondary battery and semiconductor makers.
As of December 2023, 2,436 companies are operating in the complex, more than half of which were in the mechanical, electrical and electronic industries. The cumulative production value in 2023 was KRW 46.2 trillion and the cumulative export value is USD 19 billion.
The Gumi National Industrial Complex gradually shifted its focus from the textile and electronics industries in the 1970s to the textile, computer, and semiconductor industries in the 1980s, home appliances and electrical and electronic industries in the 1990s, and IT and mobile industries in the 2000s.
