[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Park Hyung-jun, Mayor of Busan, continues his tour of innovative companies that will lead the future of Busan's economy.

Busan City announced that on the 25th, starting at 10 a.m., it will visit Autonics, a leader in the spread and promotion of smart factories, and innovative startup companies leading the non-face-to-face trend.

Following his visit to Geumyang on the 17th, Mayor Park plans to directly visit outstanding companies in the Busan area to communicate on-site.

The first destination of the day is Autonics, a leading domestic company in the sensor and control device field, which is a core technology of industrial automation.

Autonics is a representative smart manufacturing innovation company promoting the spread and adoption of smart factories. This year, it was selected as one of the 10 nationwide companies in the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' first-ever ‘K-Smart Lighthouse Factory’ program. Busan City expects the company to play a hub role in spreading smart technologies in domestic industrial sites.

Autonics plans to present the direction of Korean-style manufacturing through its mid- to long-term corporate strategy of ‘building a smart factory total solution.’

Busan City also expresses its commitment to jointly work on attracting national public projects for manufacturing advancement and spreading smart manufacturing technologies.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun of Busan said, “Autonics is a representative model of corporate innovation not only in technology but also in job creation, industry-academia cooperation, research and development, and organizational culture improvement,” adding, “We will discuss various matters to cooperate with our city to improve Busan’s weak economic structure.”

He is scheduled to visit startups rapidly growing by leading the non-face-to-face trend based on online platforms, including Modusign (online simple contract service), Mr. Mansion (long-term accommodation brokerage service), and G-Motion (3D clothing design).

These companies are representative startups of Busan that have grown through fund investments or startup support projects in Busan.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “I hope these companies will play a greater role as role models and mentors for junior entrepreneurs, and we will support excellent startups to grow into unicorn companies representing Busan.”
