Create 'Next Gyeonggi' for Future Hope of Gyeonggi Residents
Governor Nam named it "Next Gyeonggi" and explained it as ensuring that 12.65 million Gyeonggi residents maintain at least quality of life within Gyeonggi Province and find hope for the future.
On the morning of October 7 at 9:00 a.m., Governor Nam made remarks at a monthly meeting held in the first conference room of Gyeonggi Province Government Office, stating, "Tomorrow (8th) marks my 100th day in office. During the past 100 days, I have been contemplating what my role is as Gyeonggi Province governor in this era. The current Republic of Korea is an anxious society with youth, the elderly, and children, and to create a better future for them, I am launching the Next Gyeonggi project."
Governor Nam further explained that Next Gyeonggi is where future and current generations coexist while sharing hope, and introduced key tasks across six areas: politics, economy, industry, culture, public services, and unification.
Governor Nam first cited political innovation as the first innovative task for creating Next Gyeonggi.
Governor Nam stated, "Next politics will create a cooperative Gyeonggi that moves together through communication rather than conflict through 'cooperative governance via personnel and budget authority,' and will make a Gyeonggi of mutual prosperity."
As the second task, Governor Nam cited the economy and explained that Next Economy is a social economic system that considers socially disadvantaged groups.
Governor Nam said, "Next Economy aims to build a social economy support system, create jobs through fostering social economy organizations, and expand startup support. We will promote community cooperation, social economy hubs, enhanced welfare, and job creation."
Selecting industry as the third innovation task for Next Gyeonggi, Governor Nam stated, "Next Industry will build a people-centered ecosystem from space-centered clusters, create a global ecosystem hub that generates growth momentum through convergence and integration between industries."
The fourth innovation task for Next Gyeonggi is culture. Governor Nam expressed his commitment to implementing cultural policies that can be enjoyed by all residents, not just certain groups.
The fifth innovation task is innovation in public services, including transportation, safety, and data.
Governor Nam said, "We will achieve innovation in Gyeonggi Province's public services through Good Morning Bus, Golden Time 5 Minutes, and Big Pie Project. Gyeonggi Province's public services will become the standard for the Republic of Korea and go beyond Korea to become a global standard."
The final sixth innovation task is the unification sector, which addresses development plans for northern Gyeonggi Province in preparation for a unified era. Governor Nam stated, "Next Unification aims to develop the underdeveloped northern Gyeonggi region into a future unification city and will begin full-scale regional development projects to innovatively narrow the long-standing gap between northern and southern Gyeonggi."
Following the announcement of six Next Gyeonggi innovation tasks, Governor Nam also unveiled plans to develop Next Bundang (Second Bundang Techno Valley) as the first project of Next Gyeonggi.
Governor Nam said, "The Next Bundang project is about laying an innovative foundation for creating future growth momentum and will serve as living evidence of the creative economy advocated by President Park Geun-hye."
He continued, "Gyeonggi Province has experience in successfully building the Bundang Techno Valley and has the capability to lead Next Bundang as well. We will work closely with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Seongnam City to launch the project in earnest from next year."
