Samsung to join world’s top five vaccine producers by 2025, thanks to the US
South Korean President Moon Jae-in is in the United States this week. And while his travel plans focused heavily on the UN General Assembly, Korean media reported Moon’s approach and included a meeting with Albert Bourlar, Pfizer’s chief executive officer. That could be one of the world’s leading suppliers of COVID-19 vaccines.
In May 2021, Moon and U.S. President Biden reached a joint agreement to develop a vaccine between the two countries. Expected to be elaborated this week, following a singing event to be attended by Moon. In any case, the partnership is at the heart of the $2-billion investment plan designed to position South Korea as the largest vaccine production hub in Asia.

South Korea wants to be the leading producer of vaccines
Surprisingly, Samsung is designed to play a key role in this R&D process. And in this case, “Samsung” refers to Samsung Biologics, a unit of Songdo, in Incheon-based biotechnology of Samsung Group. As per the report, the Korean side of the agreement also includes SK Bioscience’s production capabilities.
The government recently unveiled a new 2.2 trillion won ($1.92 billion) plan to invest in vaccine development and production over the next five years, with the aim of debuting its first locally developed COVID-19 vaccine in the first half of next year and becoming one of the top five vaccine producers by 2025.
In addition to the production of vaccines, chaebol has also played a role in opposing the global epidemic on the other hand. For instance, it was only last month that it introduced how Samsung Pay users can store their digital vaccination credentials on their devices. The feature, built next to the Commons Project Foundation, began rolling out worldwide in early September.
But to get the most out of it, you must be a CommonHealth user. And judging by the latest Play Store updates, many are still struggling to make it work.
