SEOUL – South Korea is set to unveil three “mega-projects” to fuel its next growth phase, including a new semiconductor hub in the southwest that local media say could attract investments by Samsung and SK spanning hundreds of billions of dollars over several years.
The announcement would mark President Lee Jae Myung’s boldest push yet to align South Korea’s AI and chip ambitions with his pledge to narrow regional disparities and revive economies beyond the Seoul metropolitan area.
Lee will preside over the event, framed as a national “great leap” due to be unveiled around 2 p.m., his office said, with ministries covering industry, science, climate and transport set to outline policy support.
