Companies such as Samsung along with Hanwha, Woongjin and Lotte groups also signed a deal to move operations to Sejong City.
The current conservative government expects Sejong to grow into a self-sufficient city with a population of 500,000 with 246,000 new jobs being created by 2020.
The government dropped controversial plans announced in 2005 by then-President Roh Moo-Hyun to relocate nine ministries and four subsidiary agencies to Sejong City.
