All nineteen Centers for Creative Economy and Innovation with the conglomerate assigned to each; seventeen are public centres and Pohang and Bitgaram are the two private ones

The Chungbuk Center for Creative Economy & Innovation sits in Osong Bio Valley, near Cheongju. It carries two published focus fields: 바이오 and 이차전지.

The Osong address predicts the bio half. It does not predict the secondary-battery half, and that is the one that goes unclaimed.

LG Group Partnership and Osong Bio Hub

The dataset gives Chungbuk's partner as LG. It names the group, not a subsidiary, and it does not say what the assignment provides.

Osong hosts the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and national bio research institutes. That makes Chungbuk CCEI a strong base for clinical regulatory work.

The centre also operates specialized bio-venture capital investment funds.

Connecting with Chungbuk CCEI

Check open announcements on the CCEI portal under Chungbuk. Always re-verify official phone numbers and lab facility locations on the centre subsite prior to applying.

Where to apply

Each centre runs its own calls; there is no central intake. Its own notices and programme calendar sit on its subsite at https://ccei.creativekorea.or.kr/chungbuk.

The unified CCEI portal carries the directory and cross-centre notices.

There is no single national deadline. Each centre recruits on its own calls, so the dates that bind you are the ones on that centre's notice board.
