Daejeon City announced that its "Special Visual Production Hub Establishment Project" has been selected for the Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and will receive 5.55 billion KRW in national funding over the next three years starting next year.

The Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project is a key initiative of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism aimed at ensuring the sustainable growth of K-content by building nationwide content infrastructure hubs and intensively fostering region-specific specialized content.

Starting next year, the city plans to establish a special visual content ecosystem and strengthen its capabilities, with the goal of creating a unique special visual ecosystem brand exclusive to Daejeon by 2027.

Next year, the city will foster the special visual content ecosystem by supporting production using special visual technologies and local resources, providing support for short-form content creation, conducting research and development (R&D) and commercialization of special visual technologies, nurturing specialized talent, operating industry-academia joint campuses, and hosting festivals (special visual film festivals).

In 2026, the city will enhance the expertise of each initiative, and in 2027, it plans to support full-scale market entry to establish brand value.

The city is currently developing a convergence special visual content cluster on the site of the Daejeon Tourism Organization in Doryong-dong, Yuseong-gu, with a budget of 147.6 billion KRW. The cluster will include space for 80 companies, five filming studios, and exhibition and experience spaces.

Noh Kisoo, Director of Culture, Arts and Tourism at Daejeon City, said, "We will do our utmost to establish video industry infrastructure and create a convergence special visual cluster to transform Daejeon into a hub city for convergence special visual production based on its strength in science and technology."
