Top 10 South Korean Conglomerates to Invest 270 Trillion KRW in Non-Capital Regions by 2030
The Korea Enterprises Federation reports that the top 10 South Korean conglomerates plan to invest 270 trillion KRW in regions outside the capital from 2023 to 2030, focusing on advanced industries like semiconductors and AI. This investment could generate 525 trillion KRW in production effects and 221 trillion KRW in value-added effects domestically. The KEF emphasizes the need for regulatory support to facilitate these investments.

Samsung, SK, Hyundai Motor, LG, Lotte, POSCO, Hanwha, HD Hyundai, GS, and Hanjin groups aim to invest 270 trillion KRW in non-capital regions from 2023 to 2030. Key projects include semiconductor facility expansions, battery production enhancements, and AI development.
If realized, these investments could lead to 525 trillion KRW in production-inducement and 221 trillion KRW in value-added effects over five years. The Korea Enterprises Federation calls for regulatory easing and government support to ensure smooth execution of these plans.
