Hana Financial Group said on Tuesday it signed a business agreement with Hana Bank and Hana Securities, as well as GS Engineering, Jibesco Asset Management, DC Bridge and Xi C&A, to 추진 a “major shift to productive finance.”

The signing ceremony was held at GS Engineering’s headquarters in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Kang Seong-mook (강성묵), vice chairman of Hana Financial Group and CEO of Hana Securities, Lee Ho-seong (이호성), CEO of Hana Bank, and Heo Yoon-hong (허윤홍), CEO of GS Engineering.

Under the agreement, Hana Financial Group will cooperate with GS Engineering and others to create new growth engines and strengthen competitiveness in advanced strategic industries. The cooperation is expected to cover all stages of projects, including funding support to activate productive finance, investment and fund formation, and identifying business opportunities and making joint investments related to AI data center development.

The participation of GS Engineering subsidiaries that have built an AI data center value chain (investment, leasing and operations) is expected to create structural synergies that combine finance and physical infrastructure.

Hana Financial plans to go beyond a simple equity investment by joining projects from the initial development stage. It also plans to pursue improved profitability by securing advisory and financial arrangement roles when large-scale fundraising takes place later.

Kang said, “Through this agreement, we will expand the shift of funds toward productive finance and actively support advanced strategic industries such as AI data centers, thereby contributing to strengthening national industrial competitiveness.”
