[Sejong = Newsis] Reporter Kim Dong-hyun - KDN announced on the 3rd that it signed the "Wanju AI Data Center Construction Agreement" for the establishment of an energy-hub type data center at the Wanju County Office on the 26th of last month.

The Wanju AI Data Center construction project will be carried out through public-private cooperation, with Techno Green Co., Ltd. taking charge of general implementation, and KDN, LG Electronics, and partners participating. The total project cost is approximately KRW 270 billion, and it will be built in the Wanju Techno Valley 1st Industrial Complex in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province.

An official from KDN said, "We will do our best as a public enterprise to contribute to national development through various actions that lay the foundation for the construction of data centers, which will serve as a foundation for implementing government policies aimed at leaping into one of the top three AI powerhouses."
