The Location
The region known as the heart of Korea due to its central location is on its renaissance. After congress confirmed the province as the new site for the nations administrative capital of the future, Chungnam is emerging rapidly not only as the new center of Korean politics and economy but the most promising destination for foreign investment. A multifunctional administrative city is being built in the province which will be the site for 12 ministries and a significant number of government agencies and corporations whose relocation is due to be completed by 2014. The province is also home to 85 industrial complexes in high-tech industries such as Information Technology, Bio Technology, Nano Technology, automobile, chemical, semi-conductor, steel, oil and precision chemistry complexes just to name a few. As such the province has successfully fostered a new high value, high tech industrial cluster, due to catapult Koreas economic growth for this millennium. Centrally located within Korea and Northeast Asia, Chungnam is positioned as an ideal hub of trade, business and investment in the new millennium.

One Hour South of Seoul
Chungnam is a rapidly growing area due to its proximity to Seoul and within a three-hour drive of any point in Korea. Centrally location, a number of distribution centers are being established in the area. Last year, 15 central government organizations, including the Office of Small & Medium Business Administration and the Korea Industrial Property Office, relocated from Seoul to the provinces nearby Daejeon district, heralding the Chungnam area's transition as the nation's administrative capital.

Beach Head to China & Education Hub
Not only is Chung-nam locally strategic, it is also just about 250 kilometers of China's ports just across the Yellow Sea. As such, it easily functions as a strategic international base for the Northeast Asia. Chungnam also boasts a large concentration of institutions of higher learning in Korea. It has the nations most celebrated university the Korea Advance Institute for Technology. Forty graduate schools, 140 high school and 30 colleges are located in the region. In addition, since Seoul has become too congested, the capital's elite universities are establishing campuses in the region.
