Lawmaker Kim Jang-gyeom says NIPA regional balance budget 25 percent concentrated in Gwangju

About 25 percent of this year’s project funding directly allocated to Gwangju under the National IT Industry Promotion Agency’s regional balanced development special account came from NIPA-run programmes, the largest share among 17 metropolitan cities and provinces. The 2026 support totalled 154.015 billion won, with Gwangju receiving 38.258 billion won. Funding rose on new large AI allocations, including a national AI data centre upgrade project and support for the Gwangju AI School.
