The document describes the development plan for Wonju Medipolis in Wonju, Korea over several decades. It began as a local community health center in 1998 and has expanded significantly. It now includes several medical device and biotech complexes that are home to over 100 companies and thousands of employees. The government has strongly supported its growth through incentives and technical assistance. Several success stories of companies that started in Wonju Medipolis and became leaders in Korea and abroad are provided. The future plan is to further expand facilities and attract more international investment to make Wonju Medipolis a leading medical device and technology hub.
