,
, “The key investment target related to renewable energy is the ‘Wando Geumil Offshore Wind Power Project.’ The electricity generated from the power complex will be utilized as power infrastructure for advanced industries in the Honam region, including the national AI data center, making it the largest eco-friendly energy project in Korea. In the AI and digital infrastructure sector, investment is planned for large-scale AI data center development projects, such as the ‘Bucheon Samjeong-dong AI Hub Center’ and the ‘Incheon Guwol-dong AI Hub Center.'”,

While development stage projects carry risks, the plan is to play a priming role in productive finance to drive growth in the real economy and take the lead in securing quality assets through proactive initial investments. Securing advisory and financial arrangement rights at times when large-scale funding is required in the future is also anticipated.”,
