According to AI TIMES, the Saemangeum Development and Investment Agency significantly expanded corporate investment support through its 2027 budget proposal on September 2 to help develop Saemangeum into an AI data center and physical AI hub. The total government proposal is KRW 222.2 billion, and the budget for corporate investment support was sharply increased to KRW 26.5 billion, reinforcing the effort to build related infrastructure. The focus of the budget proposal is to improve the effectiveness of attracting companies by newly combining long-term lease land supply, support linked to robot clusters, and the establishment of demand-responsive transportation services. In particular, it is being read as an approach that goes beyond simple land support by advancing anchor company investments and improving conditions for small and medium-sized partners to enter as well. It also includes logistics support linked to robot manufacturing plants and better transportation conditions for workers, making clear its intent to lay the groundwork for an industrial ecosystem that can actually move. As Saemangeum seeks to prove its execution capabilities in the competition to attract investment around future industries, this budget proposal appears likely to become the starting point.
Perspective
This budget proposal is meaningful in that Saemangeum is shifting its weight from development plans to first securing the conditions for actual corporate settlement and operations. Support that ties together land, transportation, and logistics is an approach aimed not just at announcing investment, but also at forming a production and partner ecosystem, so how quickly it can be executed to create visible occupancy and linkage effects is likely to become the benchmark for competitiveness.
