Surrounding Seoul, Gyeonggi Province is not only home to local specialties like Icheon rice and an extensive range of attractions, it is also the center of the Korean economy. Gyeonggi Province, renowned as a center of global research and innovative businesses, has been developing world-leading and pioneering convergence clusters that are identified by the four techno valleys that serve as their anchors: Pangyo, Gwanggyo, Ansan, and Dongtan. These clusters provide a solid foundation for corporations seeking to invest in a wide array of industries and facilities that include, but are not limited to, information technology, convergence technology, research facilities, and more.

Gyeonggi Province boasts an economically active population of 7.29 million as well as manufacturing infrastructure that includes 68,681 factories. The province is also home to 11,480 small and medium-sized enterprises and accounts for international trade of USD 249.8 billion. Moreover, world-renowned multinationals including Samsung, SK, Hyundai Kia, LG, and SK Hynix represent just a few of the select high-tech Korean companies based in Gyeonggi.

All of these factors and more serve as a solid foundation for the semiconductor companies in the province.

Semiconductors are used in almost all modern electronics
Semiconductors
Semiconductors have specific electrical properties and can be found in almost all modern electronic equipment such as appliances, mobile phones, and other social infrastructure essential for our everyday lives. Especially as 4th industrial revolution absorbs IT materials faster than ever, semiconductors serve an important role in various sectors, from solar technology, self-driving cars, and automated machines to trains and much more.
With the advent of diverse new technologies, industries demand new innovations to facilitate convenience and efficiency in modern life. Thus, the high demand for semiconductors.
Semiconductors have a long history that dates back to the 1900s.  It is undeniable that the advancements in electronic devices that make our lives easier can be credited to the advances in semiconductor electronics.

Gyeonggi-do: A Pioneer in the Semiconductor Industry

Innovation Hub for Youths
With the growing interest of professionals in technological fields, Gyeonggi Province is reaching out to youths and young professionals who are interested in the semiconductor industry. Working with the Nanotechnology Institute, the province launched the Semiconductor Professional Training Project to address unemployment among youth and revive small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) in the semiconductor industry.
The project undertook participant recruitment from August to December of 2019, enlisting 20 professionals in the field of semiconductors to train 100 young people as Korea's semiconductor experts. Training consisted of semiconductor equipment operation, design education, measurement analysis, and several other related IoT subjects. After completion of the education, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Korea Nanotechnology Institute supported the employment of these graduates. In this way, continuous support is provided while the transfer of knowledge is realized. This creates a sustainable program for the future of the semiconductor industry in Gyeonggi Province.

Yongin City, Gyeonggi-do: World’s Largest Semiconductor Cluster Candidate
On February 21, 2019, SK Hynix (a Korean company that manufactures semiconductor components) announced that it would invest 120trillion KRW in the construction of four semiconductor production facilities by2022. Undertaken in collaboration with 50 other domestic and overseas sister companies, the area chosen for these new facilities was Yongin City in Gyeonggi-do.
