Additionally, groups such as the Sasang Youth Entrepreneurs Association and the Busan-Gyeongnam Startup Network Founders participated in the event to discuss strategies for advancing specialized fields and directions for cultivating regional professional talent to ensure the successful implementation of the project.
Jo Byung-gil, Mayor of Sasang District, stated, “We will strengthen cooperation among government, industry, and academia to ensure this project becomes a foundation for the development of Sasang District and will spare no administrative support for its successful execution.”
Kim Dae-sik, President of Gyeongnam Information University, said, “We will fulfill the university’s social responsibility to the local community, which has shown great support for Gyeongnam Information University, by nurturing regionally tailored professionals in collaboration with various local institutions and addressing local issues.”
