Since 2019, Gyeonggi Province has been promoting the relocation of its affiliated public institutions to the northern region with the goal of balanced regional development. As a result, major institutions such as the Gyeonggi Environment Energy Promotion Agency (Gimpo) and Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation (Yangju) have completed their relocations, and the Economic Science Promotion Agency plans to gradually relocate to Paju starting in 2025.

Paju City anticipates that with the Economic Science Promotion Agency’s relocation proceeding as planned, it will create a foundation for the growth of various industries and companies within the region.

A Paju City official stated, “With this relocation as an opportunity, Paju will establish itself as the economic hub of northern Gyeonggi,” and requested continuous interest and cooperation from citizens.

Paju City plans to continue cooperating with Gyeonggi Province to carry out all necessary procedures related to the relocation of the Economic Science Promotion Agency.
