The Gwangju Free Economic Zone Authority (hereinafter Gwangju FEZA) is participating in the ‘Invest Korea Summit 2024,’ held over three days until the 8th at the Grand Intercontinental Seoul, to promote Gwangju's future mobility industry and engage in investment attraction activities.

Organized by the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), the ‘Invest Korea Summit 2024’ is an annual foreign investment promotion event attended by about 1,000 participants including overseas investors, leading companies (anchor companies), and foreign diplomats stationed in Korea.

This year, various investment attraction contents are being held, including future strategic industry exhibitions such as future cars, bio, secondary batteries, and semiconductors, as well as investment consultations and new technology seminars.

Gwangju FEZA operates a future mobility promotional exhibition hall and undertakes various investment attraction activities such as corporate networking and on-site inspections of the Bitgreen Industrial Complex. At the Gwangju promotional exhibition hall, the new economic vision of the Future Car National Complex, the specialized materials and parts complex, and various mobility support facilities in Gwangju are introduced, along with promotions of Kia Motors, Gwangju Global Motors, and local automotive parts companies.
