Icheon City and the Gyeonggi Urban Innovation Corporation (GH) are pushing to create a semiconductor sobjang (소재·부품·장비, materials, parts and equipment) cluster spanning approximately 180,000 square meters across three districts, according to announcements by the city and GH.
The project, promoted jointly by Icheon City and GH, aims to establish a dedicated cluster for semiconductor materials, parts and equipment companies across three designated districts. The stated scale of the planned cluster is 180,000 square meters.
Icheon, home to major semiconductor manufacturing operations in Gyeonggi Province, has sought to strengthen its local supply chain for the industry. The cluster initiative is part of that effort, providing space for sobjang companies that support chip production.
Details on timelines, tenants and funding arrangements were not specified in the publicly available announcements.
Icheon City and GH published materials on the plan through their official channels, including releases posted on the Icheon city website and GH's press release page.
The claim that Icheon City and GH are pursuing a three-district, 180,000㎡ semiconductor sobjang cluster is True.
