[CES2020] Chairman Park Yong-man's 'Candid Remarks' at CES

[Las Vegas (USA) = Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] Park Yong-man, Chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman of Doosan Infracore), said after touring the 'CES2020' exhibition hall that the presence of Korean companies in new business areas such as drones is weaker than that of China, emphasizing the urgent need for regulatory reform to promote corporate innovation.

On the 8th (local time), right after visiting the Samsung Electronics and Doosan exhibition halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), where the world's largest home appliance and IT exhibition 'CES2020' is being held, Chairman Park said, "Samsung is truly the world’s top in display and mobile, which makes me very proud."

Chairman Park added, "But on the other hand, I feel somewhat regretful," saying, "I saw many Chinese companies here, and I feel sorry that our presence seems weaker than China’s."

He especially cited drones as an example, saying, "I think the reason for the lack of development is due to regulatory frameworks," and added, "Those who argue that regulatory innovation cannot be achieved in Seoul would find no place here."

Chairman Park pointed out, "Large and medium-sized companies have worked hard and made profits, but the future does not belong solely to them," and said, "Our society needs to reflect on whether we have done anything to block the future."

He further stated, "All leaders in politics, society, and economy must engage in a painful self-reflection on how much effort they have made to open the future beyond the familiar and proud shadows we are accustomed to."

On the same day, Chairman Park, along with his son Park Seo-won, CEO of Doosan Magazine, visited not only the booths of major domestic companies such as Samsung Electronics but also the Eureka Park zone, a startup exhibition hall, to observe new technologies from domestic small and venture companies.
