○ 25 companies selected for their high potential to attract overseas investment in strategic industries such as AI, IT, medical-bio, and mobility
○ Selected companies to receive comprehensive support, including overseas investment consulting, investment IR, and follow-up management

Gyeonggi Province has selected 25 promising companies with high potential to attract overseas investment in strategic industries. These companies will receive tailored support, including overseas investment consulting, investor relations (IR) assistance, and ongoing follow-up management.

Despite being a newly launched initiative this year under the “INVEST Gyeonggi” program, competition to participate was fierce, with a total of 95 companies from 22 cities and counties applying, resulting in a competitive rate of approximately 4:1.

The “INVEST Gyeonggi” program is designed to strengthen companies’ investment attraction capabilities, aiming to bring overseas investment to local businesses with technological expertise and growth potential.

The selected companies were chosen based on criteria including investment potential, readiness to attract overseas investment, market entry capabilities, and business execution ability.

These companies represent key strategic industries in Gyeonggi Province, including artificial intelligence (AI), information technology (IT), medical and biotechnology, mobility, energy, and new materials.

Each selected company will undergo a corporate assessment by a specialized consulting firm with expertise in industry, investment, and management, as well as experience in promoting overseas investment. They will receive 1:1 customized consulting on investment promotion strategies and conditions. Based on the consulting results, companies will receive follow-up support to further enhance their investment promotion capabilities. This includes the development of IR materials and promotional videos, with up to KRW 10 million in support per company allocated for these efforts. The selected companies will also be given priority access to overseas investment promotion delegations and IR events organized by Gyeonggi Province.

This year, Gyeonggi plans to bring the selected companies to major global events such as Web Summit Vancouver in Canada and GITEX Global in Dubai. The goal is to increase the likelihood of securing overseas investment by facilitating meeting with global investors, sharing trends in global innovative technologies, and fostering networking among innovative technology companies.

“We hope that this project, which offers overseas investment consulting, customized corporate growth services, and support for overseas investment, will empower local companies to enhance their global competitiveness and attract foreign capital,” said Yoo So-jeong, Director of Gyeonggi Province’s Investment Promotion Division.

The 25 companies selected as promising candidates to attract overseas investment in Gyeonggi will receive corporate orientation on May 9.
