On June 11, Hana Financial Group announced that it had signed a "Financial Business Agreement for the Dissemination of Productive Finance in Industrial Complexes" with Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, Korea Industrial Complex Managers Association, and Global Leading Enterprises Association.

The first initiative involves the establishment of the "Industrial Complex New Growth Fund" (tentative name) with a total value of 50 billion won. Hana Financial Group plans to utilize a blind fund to provide tailored growth capital to promising tenant companies within industrial complexes and excellent member companies of industrial complex economic organizations, supporting their new business investments, technology development, and business expansion.

To accelerate the full-cycle business commercialization of tenant companies, Hana Financial Group will offer ESG management consulting, assistance in obtaining domestic and international certifications, and preferential interest rate benefits to companies within industrial complexes.

Cooperation will also be expanded to promote balanced regional development based on the "Five Megazones and Three Special Zones" (5 Geuk 3 Teuk) initiative. This is a national policy of the Lee Jaemyung administration, aiming to reorganize the country into five megaregions and three special self-governing provinces. Accordingly, mutual cooperation will be strengthened to revitalize industrial complexes outside the Seoul metropolitan area, and Hana Financial Group will sponsor the "2nd Korea Industrial Complex Export Fair (KICEF 2026)" scheduled for September. The group will operate financial cooperation centers and seminars onsite to help local companies match with overseas buyers and boost exports.

To invest in future industry infrastructure and advance the structure of industrial complexes, Hana Financial Group will participate in attracting private capital for public-private joint development projects such as the Industrial Complex Environmental Improvement Fund. The group will also support the financial structuring of redevelopment projects for aging industrial complexes and the establishment of new industrial complexes.

In addition, Hana Financial Group will support the Manufacturing AI Transformation (M.AX) of tenant companies in industrial complexes. The group will provide investment advisory services and tailored financial products for needs such as AI solutions, specialized 5G networks, and the construction of modular edge data centers.

Attendees at the agreement ceremony included Kang Sungmook, Vice Chairman of Hana Financial Group; Lee Hosung, President of Hana Bank; Lee Sanghoon, Chairman of Korea Industrial Complex Corporation; Choi Cheolho, Chairman of the Korea Industrial Complex Managers Association; and Lee Wonhae, Chairman of the Global Leading Enterprises Association. The four organizations agreed to jointly promote the "K-Industrial Complex New Growth Project" (tentative name) to drive innovation and growth for tenant companies and revitalize regional economies.

Vice Chairman Kang stated, "I hope the 'K-Industrial Complex New Growth Project' will serve as a solid stepping stone for Korean companies to make their leap onto the global stage."
