Investment promotion at the exhibition
Ulsan, led by Mayor Kim Sang-uk, said it would operate an investment promotion pavilion in conjunction with Data Center Korea 2026, taking place at the aT Center in Seoul from November 4 to November 6.
Data Center Korea 2026 is a specialist exhibition sharing the latest technologies, government policies and industry trends in data center design, equipment, construction and operation. Ulsan plans to use its investment promotion pavilion to publicize its favorable investment environment and industrial base and identify potential corporate investors.
Its promotional activities will focus on the investment environment, including Ulsan's industrial base and infrastructure, incentives for investing companies, tailored administrative support programs and screenings of an investment promotion video.
At the exhibition, the city also plans to provide tailored investment consultations for companies in related industries, including power, air conditioning, cooling and networking, in connection with the development of the SK-Amazon Web Services (SK-AWS) Ulsan AI Data Center. It will also visit participating companies' booths to promote Ulsan's investment environment and support programs.
Strategy and investment subsidies
Ulsan previously identified target companies and prepared an investment attraction strategy through a commissioned study on attracting AI data center-related industries, conducted from December 2025 through June 2026.
The city also strengthened the foundation for attracting companies in related industries by revising its support framework to allow investment subsidies of up to 12 billion won per company in AI data center-related industries.
A Ulsan official said, “Through this pavilion, we plan to actively promote Ulsan's favorable investment environment and administrative and financial support programs. We will do our utmost to ensure that active investment promotion translates into tangible investment results.”
