The Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone Authority(DGFEZ) held its 2026 Investment Attraction Strategy Meeting on February 4th, finalizing the ‘2026 Comprehensive Investment Attraction Plan’ to propel the regional economy forward.
 
The meeting, attended by the Acting Commissioner and Project Managers(PMs), discussed investment attraction directions reflecting each district's industrial conditions and inter-departmental collaboration plans.
 
Notably, this year's comprehensive plan focuses on delivering tangible results beyond MOUs by driving actual groundbreaking and stable establishment by companies.
 
To achieve this, DGFEZ has set targets of attracting $65 million in foreign direct investment(FDI) and KRW 220 billion in domestic investment this year. It plans to fully implement four key strategies: prioritizing strategic industries, conducting three-track investment attraction activities(IR), strengthening the virtuous cycle investment ecosystem, and establishing a One-Team investment response system.
 
Acting Commissioner Sang-Ki Kang stated, “This year, we will take full responsibility for managing the entire process to ensure that investments don't end with MOUs but lead to actual groundbreaking and job creation.” He added, “We will enhance DGFEZ's competitiveness by focusing on strategic industries and strengthening post-investment management.”
