South Korea Government Relies on Investment to Boost the Country’s Technological Industry
Samsung announced that it plans to make a series of investments totaling US$ 230 billion over the next 20 years to promote semiconductor chip manufacturing. With this investment, the South Korean company aims to build the largest semiconductor chip factory in the world.
According to Adrenaline, the plan was presented by Samsung this Wednesday (15), in response to increased competitiveness in other countries, such as India and the United States. These countries have begun to offer tax exemptions to attract significant investments in the semiconductor chip industry. Thus, the South Korean government relies on these expenditures to boost the country’s technological industry.
150 Semiconductor Chip Companies Are Expected to Be Attracted by the Investments
According to the current exchange rate, the invested amount is equivalent to about R$ 1.2 trillion and will allow Samsung to fulfill its plan to build five new chip production units. According to the South Korean government, the amount spent will ensure that around 150 new companies from the materials, chip manufacturing equipment, and research sectors are attracted to the country.
