SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics have agreed a planning framework with
Jeonnam‑Gwangju authorities for a chip industrial park in South Korea; SK Hynix
seeks the largest possible production land allocation while Samsung stresses
accelerating investment delivery. The integrated-city plan sits inside a
national industrial park totaling 8.26 mln sqm, with about 2.08 mln sqm
earmarked for immediate development. Officials plan to sign a move-in agreement
with SK Hynix in October and to start detailed talks on investment timing, plant
construction and supporting infrastructure; an on-site inspection and
senior-level talks with Samsung are scheduled for Oct. 6.
