Global AI Hub Attraction Strategy

Preparing Goyang Special City
for International Cooperation, Responsible AI Innovation, and Sustainable Development

Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea

A New Growth Engine for Goyang.
New Opportunities for Employment.
A Global AI Hub for International Cooperation.

1. Strategic Vision

The proposed Global AI Hub represents an opportunity for Goyang Special City to explore a new role as a center for international cooperation and responsible artificial intelligence.

Successful attraction of international institutions requires more than public enthusiasm.

It requires objective assessment of location advantages, practical implementation plans, institutional coordination, and sustainable operational arrangements.

The Citizens' Promotion Committee seeks to develop constructive proposals that connect Goyang's existing assets with the needs of potential international partners.

The objective is not merely to attract international offices.

The broader vision is to establish conditions for meaningful international cooperation while creating opportunities for research, innovation, employment, and sustainable regional development.

2. Six Strategic Priorities

Strategy 01

Strengthening Location Competitiveness

Assess Goyang's existing assets, including metropolitan accessibility, international convention facilities, healthcare institutions, education, cultural amenities, and living conditions.

Develop evidence-based proposals that respond to the actual requirements and evaluation criteria of potential international partners.

Strategy 02

Building Institutional Cooperation

Explore cooperation among Gyeonggi Province, Goyang Special City, relevant national authorities, universities, research institutions, businesses, and civil society.

Clarify potential institutional roles and responsibilities and encourage coordinated policy discussions and preparatory activities.

Strategy 03

Supporting Initial Establishment

Assess the conditions necessary for international organizations and partner institutions to establish and maintain effective operations.

Potential requirements include office facilities, transportation, housing, education, healthcare, and other essential services.

Specific support arrangements would depend on applicable laws, available budgets, institutional requirements, and formal consultations.

Strategy 04

Expanding International Cooperation in Public-Interest AI

Explore responsible AI applications in public health, food security, climate and environmental protection, disaster resilience, employment, and education.

Identify opportunities for collaborative research, pilot projects, knowledge exchange, and practical cooperation among international organizations, research institutions, and technology companies.

Strategy 05

Connecting Innovation with Employment and Regional Development

Explore ways to connect the Global AI Hub initiative with research and development, technological innovation, professional services, and local business opportunities.

Promote policy discussions on high-quality employment, youth development, skills training, and sustainable regional growth.

Strategy 06

Encouraging Citizen Participation

Promote voluntary citizen participation through public information, online expressions of support, committee registration, and outreach activities.

Encourage responsible civic engagement based on objective information, constructive dialogue, and feasible policy proposals.

3. Initial Establishment and Operational Conditions

The long-term viability of an international cooperation hub depends on the ability of participating institutions to operate effectively and support their personnel.

The following areas would require detailed assessment and consultation.

Office Space and Facilities

Assess appropriate facilities for institutional operations, research activities, international meetings, and professional exchanges.

Requirements may include digital connectivity, accessibility, security, and meeting infrastructure.

Transportation and Accessibility

Evaluate access to international airports, major metropolitan destinations, potential office locations, and residential areas.

Transport reliability, commuting conditions, and accessibility should be considered.

Housing and Living Conditions

Assess residential options, education, healthcare, and everyday services for international personnel and accompanying family members.

Actual needs would depend on staffing arrangements and institutional requirements.

Administrative and Institutional Support

Explore potential coordination among relevant authorities to address administrative requirements, institutional cooperation, and operational procedures.

Any arrangements would be subject to the responsibilities and approval processes of the institutions concerned.

These considerations represent proposed areas for feasibility assessment. They do not constitute confirmed financial commitments, facility allocations, or institutional support agreements.

4. From Preparation to Sustainable Operations

The Global AI Hub initiative requires planning beyond the initial location selection process.

The following four phases describe a proposed policy approach, not an officially approved implementation schedule.

Phase 01

Building the Foundation

Develop public understanding, assess location competitiveness, conduct policy research, and explore institutional cooperation.

Phase 02

Developing a Practical Proposal

Refine potential attraction proposals and operational support measures based on institutional needs, site requirements, and relevant evaluation criteria.

Phase 03

Supporting Initial Establishment

If a location is formally selected, explore arrangements for office facilities, living conditions, and administrative coordination through consultation with relevant authorities.

Phase 04

Expanding International Cooperation

Explore opportunities for collaborative research, pilot projects, international conferences, professional training, and long-term partnerships.

Preparation → Practical Proposal → Initial Establishment → Sustainable Cooperation

Implementation would depend on institutional decisions, available resources, and formal agreements.

5. Three-Stage Cooperation Framework

Alongside the four-phase implementation approach, the initiative proposes three long-term priorities for participating institutions.

Stage 1 — Initial Establishment

Identify the physical, administrative, and living conditions necessary for potential participating organizations to establish operations.

Stage 2 — Operational Support

Explore mechanisms for institutional coordination, research cooperation, technology demonstration, international meetings, and professional exchanges.

Stage 3 — Shared Growth

Seek opportunities for international organizations to advance their respective mandates while contributing to research collaboration, innovation, and sustainable regional development.

Initial Establishment → Operational Support → Shared Growth

The framework is a strategic proposal. Specific measures would require consultation and formal decisions by the relevant institutions.

6. Employment and Regional Economic Development

An important objective of the Global AI Hub initiative is to explore how international cooperation could create new opportunities for Goyang's regional economy.

If institutional cooperation expands, potential activities may include AI research and development, professional services, international conferences, training programs, and technology-related business development.

Connecting these activities with local businesses, universities, and young professionals would be an important long-term policy consideration.

Research and Innovation

Potential collaboration among universities, research institutions, technology companies, and international organizations.

Professional Employment

Potential opportunities in research, data analysis, international cooperation, translation, conference management, and professional services.

Youth Development

Opportunities to explore training, skills development, professional exchanges, and career pathways related to AI and international cooperation.

Local Business Opportunities

Potential connections between international cooperation and local service providers, technology businesses, and innovation networks.

The proposed Global AI Hub seeks to connect international cooperation with sustainable innovation, employment opportunities, and regional economic development.

Actual economic impacts, investment, and employment outcomes would depend on the scale, structure, and implementation of future projects. No specific outcomes are guaranteed.

8. Institutional Status and Important Clarifications

The Global AI Hub attraction strategy presented on this website is a proposal promoted by the Citizens' Promotion Committee.

It should not be interpreted as an officially approved government implementation plan or as a confirmed commitment by any international organization.

Any future location decision, institutional participation, facility provision, financial support, or operational arrangement would require appropriate consultation and formal approval by the responsible authorities.

The Committee seeks constructive dialogue and evidence-based planning to support a realistic and sustainable international cooperation initiative.

9. Building the Future Together

The proposed Global AI Hub offers an opportunity to explore how Goyang Special City could contribute to international cooperation while preparing for new regional development opportunities.
