The document summarizes the Ulsan Eco-industrial Park projects in South Korea. It discusses how the parks were established through a multi-phase process of identifying potential symbiotic partnerships between local companies, facilitating feasibility studies, and implementing resource-sharing projects. Over time, the network of participating companies expanded through additional partnerships. Lessons learned include the importance of public-private collaboration, competitiveness and sustainability strategies, and continuous improvement. Going forward, the focus is shifting from individual projects to developing the parks further through standardization, international cooperation, and other means.
