Industry Minister Ahn Duk-geun visited a research center of Samsung Electronics on Thursday as the government seeks to promote research and development (R&D) projects to revitalize economic growth.
“R&D projects play a key role in revitalizing the growth potential and securing economic security,” Ahn said during his visit to the research center in southern Seoul.
“Our focus is on investing in cutting-edge technologies where companies and the private sector encounter obstacles in making investments,” he added.
Korea’s annual budget for R&D projects in 2024 came to 26.5 trillion won, with the industry ministry taking charge of 5.1 trillion won.
Korea plans to raise tax cuts for additional R&D expenditures through the end of this year by 10 percentage points as well, raising the rates to 35 percent for conglomerates and 60 percent for small and medium-sized firms. (Yonhap)
