Reborn as an innovation base for the global wellness industry designated as a Smart Wellness Special Zone in Daegu City...

July 7rd (Tuesday) Daegu smart wellness regulation-free zone final designation

Daegu announced that the Smart Wellness Zone in Daegu was designated as a Regulatory Free Zone as a final result of the deliberation by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups on the designation of the Special Free Zone for Regulation (7.17) and Special Zone Committee (7.23).

Daegu City said that it was selected for the special regulatory free zone project promoted by the government (MSS) based on various infrastructures related to the medical, healthcare, and information and communication technology (ICT) convergence industries that have been strategically invested, and the accumulated technology through advanced research.

(Apply 14 special wards from 34 cities and provinces, select 7 special wards from 7 cities and provinces)

– 7 special zones in 7 cities and provinces-

① Daegu (Smart Wellness) ② Busan (Blockchain) ③ Sejong (Autonomous Vehicle) ④ Gangwon (Digital Healthcare) ⑤ Chungbuk (Smart Safety Control) ⑥ Jeonnam (E (e) -Mobility) ⑦ Gyeongbuk (Next-generation Battery)

The Daegu Smart Wellness Free Regulatory Zone is a special case of demonstration by 4 special zone operators including 14,795 special zones attracting 14 thousand square meters in 37 regions including Daegu Gyeongbuk Advanced Medical Complex (R&D Special Zone Medical R&D District). Four demonstration projects by requesting one special case and a total of six special cases for regulation of menu boards ① Establishment of a joint manufacturing facility for advanced medical devices, ② Establishment of a platform for commercialization of medical devices applying human-derived collagen, ③ Smart clinical trial and management platform demonstration business, ④ Promote the Internet of Things (IoT)-based wellness information service platform construction project.

First of all, the world's first attempt to build a high-tech medical device co-manufacturing facility is to overcome the medical device manufacturing regulations of the 1 factory and to innovate the manufacturing process of orthopedic implant-based medical devices based on 1-dimensional printing and to be manufactured by multiple operators of the 3 factory. It is to suggest possible sharing factories.

※ Participating companies: 13 including animation media solution (to attract 9 offshore)

Second, the commercialization platform for human-derived collagen-applied medical devices is to develop new collagen-applied medical devices by securing high-value-added collagen-derived raw materials by recycling human fat that is discarded by liposuction procedure. It is used in various biomaterials such as artificial vessels, hair, dura mater, and molding materials.

※ Participating companies: 6 including OSGEN

Third, the Smart Clinical Trials and Management Platform Demonstration Project sends data measured using in-home equipment to medical institutions and continuously monitors the subject's condition to improve the clinical compliance of the subjects and provide high quality clinical data. It is expected to reduce 30% of enterprise clinical trial costs by remote acquisition.

※ Participating companies: 6 including Jeyun Co., Ltd.

Fourth, the IoT-based wellness information service platform construction project will be provided with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms necessary for the development of medical devices as KTL and Daegu Techno Park receive unidentified medical information from medical institutions. It is a business that develops (functions) and provides them to companies. This project is expected to reduce the time and cost of utilizing medical information by individual companies and to improve the performance and precision of medical equipment (devices) developed.

※ Participating companies: 14 (megax implants, etc. attracting offshore 3), Korea Industrial Technology Testing Institute (Buk-gu Daegu support)

Through this project, Daegu City is able to secure domestic initiatives and enter the global market in the field of high-value-added orthopedic implants, collagen-containing medical devices, clinical trials, etc., centered on existing dental devices and implants, and also utilize medical big data. We expect that sustainable innovation growth will be possible through the value chain benefits of Daegu medical industry through the service of building an IoT-based wellness information service platform.

In addition, in the traditional and segmented manufacturing industry, high value added through manufacturing-service convergence ensures the restructuring and global competitiveness of the local medical health and information and communication technology (ICT) industry, and the health of non-medical areas through the demonstration of health care service. It is expected to attract 5 companies of special zone companies (offshore companies) and direct investment of approximately 400 billion by private sector companies by promoting the creation of more than 14 jobs in 200 over the management new market and the influx of new technology convergence technology applying the regulatory exemption.

The Daegu market is “designated as the Daegu Smart Wellness Regulatory Free Zone, and is a leading global benchmarking company in creating new jobs, attracting companies, and converging on the health and information and communication technology industries by demonstrating and spreading new business models for local companies. It is expected to make a pamphlet, ”he said.“ Daegu City will spare no administrative support for the successful implementation of the SEZ project. ”
