President Moon Jae-in said, "To be a country that nobody can shake, and to be a responsible economic power, we must reduce our dependence on certain countries for core materials."

Mr. Moon attended a new investment agreement worth 1 trillion won worth of carbon fiber held at the Hyosung high-tech carbon fiber factory in Jeonju, Jeonbuk, today (20th). "It is just the beginning, we can show the strength of Korea's manufacturing powerhouse again," he said.

President Moon's schedule today emphasizes his will to concentrate carbon fiber, the core material of future industries, as a national strategic industry, and at the same time, it is interpreted as a pole Japan course through core technology independence.

Carbon fiber is four times lighter than iron and ten times stronger, making it a `` high-tech material for dreams, '' but it also relies heavily on Japan.

Mr. Moon said, “It is meaningful that private investment in the carbon fiber sector has made a bold preemptive investment. We feel the extraordinary determination and confidence that makes the crisis a new leap forward.” It is expected that the investment effect of trillion trillion won will be contributed to. "

"In the field of carbon fiber, we have developed technology with a lot of trial and error as a latecomer, but it is still competitive." Fortunately, Hyosung succeeded in localization development in 2011 and started mass production in 2013.

President Moon said, “The carbon-based national industrial complex will soon be created.” “The complex of carbon-based complexes will be established by moving into carbon-related companies and research institutes.”

In particular, "We have the strength of having the world's best carbon fiber demand company such as hydrogen car and defense."
