"Water Companies, Come to Daegu National Industrial Complex"... Daegu City and Urban Development Corporation Go All Out to Attract Businesses

Daegu Urban Development Corporation (President Jeong Myungseop), in cooperation with Daegu City, jointly participated in the International Water Industry Expo (WATER KOREA 2025) held at KINTEX in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province, from the 19th to the 21st, to attract companies to the National Water Industry Cluster located in the National Industrial Complex in Dalseong-gun, Daegu.

The International Water Industry Expo, hosted by the Korea Water and Wastewater Works Association, has been held annually since 2002 as a specialized exhibition in the water industry sector. Alongside the exhibition of water and wastewater equipment, a variety of related events such as seminars, conferences, and business meetings are held simultaneously, bringing together promising water companies from across the country, government officials, universities, research institutes, and overseas buyers in one place as a hub for water industry business.

Notably, on the second day of the event, at a seminar hosted by the Korea Water Technology Certification Institute, a Daegu City official presented Daegu’s water industry development policies and support projects to promote overseas expansion of water companies, in front of over 100 participants including company representatives, domestic water industry academia, public institutions, and overseas stakeholders, actively working to attract outstanding water companies to Daegu.
