Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, established in 1889, held its 133rd anniversary ceremony on the 19th at 11 a.m. in the international conference hall on the 2nd floor of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The ceremony was conducted quietly with about 80 executives and employees celebrating internally, considering the difficulties faced by local companies due to the resurgence of COVID-19 and worsening domestic and international economic conditions, without inviting external guests.

Jang In-hwa, chairman of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said, “Since my inauguration, I have emphasized innovation at the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry,” adding, “The executives and employees have repeatedly taken bold changes and challenges beyond existing work practices, moving toward an organization that is sensitive to change and creative.”

Chairman Jang added, “Given the current very difficult economic conditions, let us expand the roles and functions of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry with responsibility to revitalize the local economy and member companies.”

The Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry is fully committed to the 2030 Busan World Expo bid project, which was set as this year’s goal.

In April, a resolution rally for the 2030 Busan World Expo was held with the attendance of President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was then president-elect, and in May, the ‘Thumbs Up Audition’ was held to raise enthusiasm for the bid within the region.

In the second half of the year, in line with the government’s active policy direction to improve corporate regulations, the Busan city government, the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and local companies will work together to establish a ‘communication platform’ to enable smooth communication within a single platform.

Through the platform, local companies will be able to report various difficulties in real time and quickly receive processing results, while Busan city will accurately receive only complaints related to the city, thereby improving administrative efficiency.

Leveraging its strength in resolving corporate difficulties, the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry plans to serve as a communication channel between Busan city and companies and significantly expand corporate support projects such as management consulting in the future.
