Georgia’s Largest Investment Ever: Inside Hyundai’s $7.6B Megaproject

Georgia is where global investment meets American industrial strategy, and where Korean innovation is creating thousands of American jobs. Anchored by Hyundai Motor Group’s $7.6 billion Metaplant, the state has transformed into a hub for advanced production, high-skilled employment, and supply-chain resilience.

In this episode of Inside the Investment, we examine how Hyundai’s arrival is catalyzing workforce pipelines, new supplier facilities, and critical EV supply-chain infrastructure that reduces private-sector risk and ensures the benefits of global trade reach local communities. Long-term foreign direct investment is essential to U.S. industrial strategy as Washington works to secure supply chains and expand advanced manufacturing.

Through conversations with state leaders, local officials, and community partners, Inside the Investment explores how cities, counties, and states across the country are bringing Korean investment in to advance American competitiveness, boost jobs, and strengthen economic security.
