Team to identify and connect investment prospects with the city
Yangju has formed a seven-member investment attraction team of business and economic experts to identify prospective investors and connect them with the city.
The city held an appointment ceremony for the team Wednesday at the mayor's office in City Hall, officially commissioning the seven members.
The team will draw on private-sector networks in the business and economic communities to identify companies for investment attraction and link them with the city. Companies and investment projects identified through the team will be referred to the city's investment support unit, which provides one-stop administrative services including project reviews, corporate consultations and preliminary permit screenings.
The seven members are Choi Young-dae, chief executive of Osung DNE; Lee Jang-wook, chief executive of Neungwon Metal; Cho Chang-seop, chairman of Youngshin Mulsan; Kim Pil-lip, chief executive of Logis Valley; Kim Nam-kwon, former director of transportation safety at Yangju; Park Jong-seo, chairman of the Northern Gyeonggi Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and Chae Hong-hak, head of the northern business division at the Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation.
Yangju plans to expand its outreach to companies in advanced industries and the manufacturing and logistics sectors, centering its investment attraction efforts on key industrial hubs including Gyeonggi Yangju Techno Valley and the Yangju Eunnam General Industrial Complex.
"Please use the experience and networks you have built in business and economic fields to connect good companies with Yangju," Mayor Jeong Deok-young said. "We will reflect the voices from the field and translate them into greater corporate recruitment and investment expansion at the Yangju Eunnam General Industrial Complex and Gyeonggi Yangju Techno Valley."
