In particular, companies had the opportunity to communicate directly with policy officials on-site and to develop realistic support measures.
President Kim Taeyeol of the Promotion Agency stated, “This ‘Coexistence and Cooperation Policy Meetup Day’ is meaningful not just as a discussion, but as an opportunity to reflect the voices of the industrial field in policy and achieve tangible outcomes. We will continue to strengthen cooperation with related organizations and companies so that Busan can establish itself as a global AI hub city.”
