In particular, centered on the Jeongja-dong Biohealth Advanced Cluster scheduled for completion in 2030, Seongnam is actively promoting multifaceted strategies such as the creation of the "Seongnam Bio Belt," fostering innovative startups, nurturing global professionals, and establishing international cooperation networks.
