The meeting was attended by representatives from four companies: Haeseong Aida Co., Ltd., DK&D Co., Ltd., Sanil Electric Co., Ltd., and JO Co., Ltd., as well as an executive director from BI Lab Co., Ltd. These companies are ones that Mayor Lee has visited in person as part of his "field-oriented administration" philosophy since the launch of the 8th popularly elected administration.

During the meeting, participants discussed several topics: cooperation measures between the city and companies; challenges faced on-site; the status of previously submitted requests; and future support directions.

Previously, the city had collected a total of 16 requests during visits to these five companies, of which 12 have been addressed. One additional request is in progress, with a goal of completion within the second half of the year. Major cases addressed include improving streetlight brightness in Smart Hub, expanding support for companies participating in overseas exhibitions, enhancing the appearance of factories within industrial complexes, and installing restrooms and rest facilities in parks.

Mayor Lee stated, "Listening to the voices from business sites and ensuring swift administrative responses are the starting points for revitalizing the local economy," adding, "We will continue to communicate closely to create an environment that is favorable for doing business."
