The advisory panel, to serve until April 11, 2015, consists of 25 people such as executives in global high-tech companies, and experts in emerging capital markets and the service industry.
“Attracting businesses to Gyeonggi Province is a key to creating more jobs; it is challenging, but at the same time very rewarding and contributes a lot to society,” said Gyeonggi Gov. Kim Moon-soo.
