On the 7th, Seoul held the 'Investment and Foundation Institutions Management Innovation Report Meeting' at the multipurpose hall of Seoul City Hall, attended by Mayor Oh Se-hoon, heads of investment and foundation institutions under Seoul, and directors and chiefs of departments, bureaus, and headquarters of Seoul’s supervisory departments.

They shared institution-specific priority projects and detailed annual plans to prepare for the post-COVID era and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, keeping pace with the rapidly changing global trend of digital transformation. They also proposed various communication strategies considering social changes such as the emergence of the MZ generation. Additionally, they introduced plans to strengthen safety capabilities to firmly protect citizens’ daily safety in relation to the Serious Accident Punishment Act to be enforced next year.

In the 'Global Leading City' sector, the Seoul Tourism Foundation announced its goal to reestablish Seoul as a global top 5 tourism city by building an ESG-based tourism and MICE environment, leading digital convergence through big data utilization and expansion of digital immersive content.

Mayor Oh Se-hoon said, “To achieve the ambitious goals of Seoul Vision 2030, the role of investment and foundation institutions working closely with citizens at the frontline is crucial. Especially in times like now, when citizens are experiencing great setbacks and severe hardships due to COVID-19 and economic recession, practical support measures that help citizens stand up and run again are urgently needed. For this, I ask that Seoul and its affiliated institutions unite to think intensively and actively discover and implement projects in various fields such as economy, transportation, housing, culture, and welfare that citizens can truly feel.”
