GH president unveils public-led industrial site strategy for Gyeonggi Province

Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Development Corp. (GH) held the "Gyeonggi Industry 31 Partners Workshop" at Suwon Convention Center on Monday, bringing together Gyeonggi Province, all 31 cities and counties, and related agencies.

The workshop was organized to share Gyeonggi Province's industrial site policy and GH's regional industrial site master plan strategy, while identifying cooperation needs and discussing industrial complex issues facing individual cities and counties.

The event comes amid weakening manufacturing competitiveness and deepening regional imbalances, with private-sector-driven, profit-focused industrial complex development repeatedly causing project delays and difficulties in timely supply.

GH established the "Gyeonggi Industry 31 Partners" platform earlier this year to strengthen the public sector's role in industrial site development across the province. Through the initiative, GH has conducted direct visits to cities and counties to gather local industrial concerns and provided ongoing consulting support, including reviews of site feasibility.

GH plans to incorporate feedback gathered at the workshop into its industrial site master plan, with the aim of developing a public-led industrial site strategy tailored to the conditions and needs of each region.

"Gyeonggi Industry 31 Partners is a field-centered, mutually beneficial cooperation platform where Gyeonggi Province, GH, and 31 cities and counties work together to identify local challenges and find solutions," GH President Kim Yong-jin said. "On the foundation of a solid partnership, we will carry out the role of a public project developer in a more systematic way to enhance the industrial competitiveness of Gyeonggi Province."
