Gyeonggi Province Provides Daily Future Industry Trend Information to Residents...Establishing Policy Response Foundation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 24th that it is providing residents with daily information on policies, technologies, and industry trends related to future industries.

Since May of last year, the province has been publishing reports such as 'Daily Future Industry Trends' and 'GBSA Review,' and regularly providing industry trend information.

Over the past year, it published 195 daily future industry trend reports and 9 expert-based industry trend reports. As of August 18 this year, it has published 156 daily trend reports and 14 industry trend reports.

Recipients include Gyeonggi Province Economic Affairs Bureau employees, provincial assembly staff, Gyeonggi Institute for Economic and Science Advancement employees, industry-academia-research personnel, and residents, with information shared through various channels including KakaoTalk, email, Twitter, and Naver Band.

The province established a proactive policy response foundation for Gyeonggi Province policy formulation by providing and sharing information about paradigm shifts in science and technology necessary for science and technology-industry policy establishment, and policies, technologies, and industry trends related to future new industries (future vehicles, system semiconductors, biohealth, etc.) to stakeholders in a timely manner.

Through this, the province aimed to provide basic data for responding to digital transformation such as data, networks, and artificial intelligence, and to contribute to policy formulation for Gyeonggi Province's innovative growth.

This year, the province added information on carbon neutrality and ESG (environment, social, and governance) issues to daily future industry trend reports, and supports Gyeonggi Province policy formulation in line with national carbon neutrality policies and ESG direction-setting for small and medium-sized enterprises in the province.

In addition, to prepare for a converged administration environment in the digital economy era, the province has promoted expert briefing sessions on future industry trends to strengthen employee policy development capacity and provide policy promotion ideas by sharing the latest policies and technology trends in future innovative growth fields.

This year's briefing sessions, held in non-face-to-face video conference format from April through August, have been conducted three times with expert lectures and free discussions on topics including smart city projects.

Lim Moon-young, Director of Future Growth Policy at the Province, said, "Through provision of future industry change trends and expert briefing sessions, we are enabling timely responses to government policies and changes in domestic and foreign industrial environments," and added, "We will support proactive policy formulation and implementation based on the province's excellent policy infrastructure."
