The South Korean government has increased its semiconductor sector budget to 3.4 trillion won for 2027, more than doubling last year's allocation. The funding focuses on production infrastructure, R&D, and ecosystem development, including AI semiconductor integration and support for new cluster constructions, alongside a strategic shift towards equity investment in advanced tech startups.
