The 'Seongnam Business Center' (K-SBC), which will support the export of companies in the Seongnam area of Gyeonggi Province to the United States, has opened in California.

Seongnam City announced on the 29th that it established the 'Seongnam Business Center' (K-SBC) in Fullerton, Orange County, California, USA, to support local companies' entry into the U.S. market, and held an opening ceremony on the 27th (local time).

The opening ceremony was attended by key figures from the California area, including Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin, Fullerton Mayor Fred Jung, U.S. Congresswoman Michelle Steel, Brea Mayor Marty Simonoff, Aborain Vice Mayor Tammy Kim, Buena Park Councilwoman Joyce An, and Andrew Gregson, Chairman of the North Orange County Chamber of Commerce.

On this day, Mayor Shin Sang-jin received a letter of appreciation from Congresswoman Michelle Steel, a prominent Korean-American federal representative in California, for his contributions to promoting exchanges between Korean and American cities. He also received the "Key to the City of Fullerton" as a gift. In response, Mayor Shin awarded the honorary citizenship of Seongnam City to the Mayor of Fullerton.

The Seongnam Business Center will carry out various activities such as promoting and marketing excellent products of Seongnam companies, discovering buyers, business consultations, and product localization.

Mayor Shin Sang-jin expressed his expectations, saying, "Based on the excellent advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities possessed by Seongnam's 4th industrial and knowledge-based manufacturing companies, we will cooperate with Fullerton City to become a good model of industrial and economic cooperation between the two countries' cities."

Fullerton City is evaluated as the optimal location for the Seongnam Business Center because it is a logistics and distribution hub adjacent to an international airport and port, has good accessibility to Silicon Valley and the San Diego bio-cluster, and has a large Korean population.
