On Nov. 25, the Seoul Metropolitan Government signed an agreement
with Seoul National University of Technology, Korea Electric Power
Corporation and Korean Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences
to build "Technopolis," a complex for high- technology industries in
Gongneung-dong, northern Seoul.
The Techonopolis will be a strategic stronghold for the research and
development of new sophisticated technologies such as nanotechnology,
information technology and biotechnology. The construction of the
Technopolis, which will be completed by 2014, will cost approximately
495.1 billion won (USD 475.5 million).
Smart House, the main building of the Technopolis, will have 12
floors above ground and 1 floor underground covering an area of
30,580 square meters, offering a "clean room," rooms, critical to
nanotech research, especially designed to reduce the number of dust
particles in the air, and 100-strong companies specialized in
manufacturing high-tech products, such as semiconductors and LCD
monitors.
In addition to Smart House, a research center will be also set up in
the Technopolis, where, with the support of Geogia Tech, one of the
oldest and most respected polytechnic universities in the US and
Korean prominent companies, educational programs will be open to
train professionals for Micro System Packaging.
An official for Seoul City said, "The Technopolis will greatly
contribute to the development of strategic industries of Seoul. It
will generate an added value worth 2 trillion won (USD 1.9 billion)
and create over 4,000 jobs in the related field."

Construction Center at (02) 970-6132, or Industrial Policy Division,
Seoul Metropolitan Government, at (02) 6321-4008.
