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

Located in Gumi's electronics manufacturing district, the Gyeongbuk Center for Creative Economy & Innovation carries two published focus fields: 소재부품 and 미래모빌리티 — materials and components, and future mobility. Gumi's history says smart factory; the centre's mandate says materials and mobility.

The Samsung assignment, and what it does not say

The dataset gives Gyeongbuk's partner as 삼성 — the group, not a named subsidiary or programme. Samsung is assigned to two centres in the network, Gyeongbuk and Daegu, and the fields differ at each.

The centre also supports electronic component makers, wireless hardware developers, and agricultural technology innovators across Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Connecting with Gyeongbuk CCEI

Check open recruitment announcements on the CCEI portal under Gyeongbuk. Re-verify official phone numbers and facility addresses on the centre subsite prior to submitting documentation.

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/gyeongbuk.

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.
