What are Jeonbuk CCEI's published fields?

기후테크 (climate tech) and 핀테크·AI. Carbon fibre and advanced materials, which appear in most English descriptions, are Hyosung's business rather than the centre's designation.

How old is this centre?

It opened 2014-11-24, making it the third of the nineteen, after Daegu (2014-09-15) and Daejeon (2014-10-10). Only three centres opened in 2014 at all.

전북 전주시 덕진구 오공로 123, 전북테크비즈센터 4~5층.

Which other centres name fintech?

Busan lists 핀테크 as its second field. Jeonbuk pairs fintech with AI. Those are the two doors in the network where a financial product is reading against a named field rather than a general one.

Which other centres name climate tech?

Gangwon, Gyeonggi and Chungnam all carry 기후테크 in their published fields, so climate founders have four centres to choose between rather than one.

Jeonbuk CCEI (전북 창조경제혁신센터): Climate Tech and FinTech, Not Carbon Fibre

전북 창조경제혁신센터

Jeonbuk CCEI opened 2014-11-24 in Jeonju, third oldest in the network, with 효성 as its 전담 대기업. Its published fields are 기후테크 and 핀테크·AI — not the carbon-fibre materials story that the Hyosung pairing invites.

Jeonbuk is a clean demonstration of how the partner-inference error works. Hyosung is known for carbon fibre; the centre is therefore described as a materials centre; the description spreads.

KISED's record gives climate tech and fintech with AI.

The third-oldest centre

Only three centres opened in 2014: Daegu on 2014-09-15, Daejeon on 2014-10-10, and Jeonbuk on 2014-11-24. The other sixteen followed in 2015 or later.

A decade of operating history is a real difference in alumni depth, and it is a fact the dataset publishes and English write-ups almost never mention.

Dimension	Value as published by KISED
전담 대기업	효성 (Hyosung)
특화분야	기후테크, 핀테크·AI
출범일	2014-11-24
주소	전북 전주시 덕진구 오공로 123, 전북테크비즈센터 4~5층
Operator type	Government-designated

Two named fields, two different competitive positions

Climate tech is named by four centres: Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Chungnam and Jeonbuk. Fintech is named by two: Busan and Jeonbuk.

So the same centre is a crowded door for one field and a narrow one for the other. That asymmetry is worth using when you decide which of your product's angles to lead with.
