Samsung Electronics presents a vision for the Yongin high-tech system semiconductor national industrial complex... Expected to invest 360 trillion won and create 1.6 million jobs

Samsung Electronics announced on the 4th that it participated in the '2026 Yongin Cyber ​​Science Festival' held at Yongin Mir Stadium for two days from the 3rd and introduced the future of the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex and energy and water resource management plans to local residents.

Yongin Science Festival is Yongin Special City's representative science and culture event, visited by about 40,000 people every year.

Samsung Electronics expanded the size of its exhibitions to four this year and introduced the changes to the local community that large-scale semiconductor investments will bring along with a bird's-eye view of the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex.

Samsung Electronics plans to invest approximately 360 trillion won in the Yongin National Industrial Complex, and about 70 materials, parts, equipment, and fabless companies are expected to move into the industrial complex. This is expected to create approximately 1.6 million jobs.

Three liquefied natural gas (LNG) power generation facilities are scheduled to be built within the Yongin National Industrial Complex. Energy produced from combined heat and power plants can be used not only in high-tech semiconductor industrial complexes but also in local communities such as apartments, hospitals, schools, sports facilities, and welfare facilities.

In cooperation with the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment and local governments, Samsung Electronics is also pursuing a project to highly purify effluent from public sewage treatment facilities and then reuse it as industrial water at semiconductor plants. We plan to reuse treated sewage water from nearby areas on a large scale, including ▲ 120,000 tons in Hwaseong City, ▲ 120,000 tons in Osan City, and ▲ 210,000 tons in Suwon City, on a daily basis.

On the 30th of last month, LH completed the selection of a business operator for the construction of Yongin National Industrial Complex Zone 1, two months ahead of the original schedule. This means that the national strategic project that the government, local governments, LH, and Samsung Electronics have been promoting together has entered the actual construction phase.

LH plans to accelerate construction by introducing cutting-edge construction methods so that Samsung Electronics can begin construction of its first fab in 2028. Samsung Electronics is also targeting October 2029, advancing its first fab operation plan by about a year.
