On June 2, Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it has been selected as the final recipient of the "2025 Gyeonggi AI Innovation Cluster Development" project, which is co-hosted by Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Business and Science Accelerator.
According to the city, Gyeonggi Province selected four cities and counties, including Bucheon, as cluster development sites through a two-stage process consisting of a presentation evaluation and an on-site inspection. Combined with the two pre-designated sites in Seongnam, a total of six hubs will be established.
In Bucheon, "Ground21," located in Sambotechno Tower in Chunui-dong, has been confirmed as the project site. With this selection, the city plans to develop "Ground21" into a new space where artificial intelligence (AI) companies can move in and operate.
