<Gyeonggi Province Will Take Responsibility for the Future of the Semiconductor Industry>

The government has announced the 'National Advanced Industry Development Strategy.'

We will establish the world's largest-scale system semiconductor cluster in Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province.

Gyeonggi Province has been in close consultation with Samsung regarding semiconductor industry investment and related matters. Today we are seeing the fruits of that effort, and I welcome this with joy alongside the 14 million residents of Gyeonggi Province.

Gyeonggi Province will respond swiftly to ensure the successful establishment of the advanced system semiconductor cluster. We will immediately organize a 'Semiconductor Support TF' with participation from related departments, relevant cities, and infrastructure-related organizations to provide support.

By adding this 7.1 million square meters (2.15 million pyeong), 300 trillion won-scale semiconductor cluster to the already under-construction SK Hynix semiconductor cluster of 4.15 million square meters (1.26 million pyeong), 120 trillion won-scale, we will develop Gyeonggi Province into a truly world-class semiconductor cluster.
