Under the MOUs, Uijeongbu and the companies will cooperate on invigorating the advanced defense sector and strengthening networking among innovative startups.

They also agreed to run programs for cultivating defense-industry talent and for education and training, and to pursue joint research and collaborative projects linking industry, academia, research institutes, government, and the military.

Uijeongbu plans to sign similar agreements on the 18th with Interact Co., a developer of XR-based disaster-safety training programs, and on the 29th with the Anti-Drone Association.

Earlier, on the 8th, the city signed agreements with leading drone-industry companies Assetta Co. and I-One Lab Co..

Leveraging these agreements, the city intends to broaden its roster of defense partners across diverse fields and encourage local firms to transition into the defense industry.

Uijeongbu has drawn up a plan to establish a defense-industry ecosystem under the vision of becoming a β€œleading advanced-defense hub city spearheading K-Defense.”

By 2028, the city aims to carry out three strategies and 15 key tasks to nurture small but strong defense firms and startups with innovative technologies and global competitiveness.

The city is also competing to host the Gyeonggi Defense Venture Center.

The Defense Venture Center supports startups that supply components used by the armed forces and assists with related technology development and localization, as well as exports.
