To further support the growth of startups, the Korean government began constructing an addition to the existing Pangyo Techno Valley complex, which is scheduled to be completed in 2020. The extension will foster a new community especially for startups and high-tech firms. It will consist of sites for private companies, including venture startups, "venture campus" sites for startups, "innovation towns" for companies and research institutes, and government organizations that provide support for startups as well as innovative technologies, the arts, and other creative industries in the area.
