SK Group Honam semiconductor cluster development
Overview
SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won has announced plans to expedite the construction of a semiconductor cluster in South Korea’s Honam region, specifically targeting sites near the Gwangju military airport and ammunition depot. The initiative aims to address surging global demand for semiconductors, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence.
Chey indicated that the group intends to begin construction as quickly as possible, even if delays occur regarding necessary power and water infrastructure. The planned Honam facility is expected to be approximately two-thirds the size of the Yongin cluster, though the scale may expand if demand continues to grow.
To support this industrial development, the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City has pledged approximately 6 trillion won in integrated financial support to secure essential infrastructure. This project is part of a broader government-backed effort involving SK hynix and Samsung Electronics to establish multiple memory fabs in the region.
