Issue Integrated AI and energy strategy to anchor advanced industries in Korea

Summary

The report calls for an integrated AI and energy strategy focused on domestic industrial competitiveness and locational advantage. Autonomous AI factories would be concentrated in advanced strategic industry and materials, parts and equipment industrial complexes, with priority access to national AI computing infrastructure. Industry-specific AI foundation models would be secured through the national sovereign model programme and matched with firms that need specialised models. An HVDC grid and AI energy system built to match strategic industry roadmaps, overseen by a public and private grid and industrial strategy council under the Prime Minister, would make Korea more attractive as a global hub for advanced industries. National AI infrastructure industrial complexes would be designated in energy-surplus regions and energy supply rules rationalised to close the power gap of the AI era.
