He continued, “We aim to make this year the ‘year to complete the foundation for future innovative growth’ that will determine Changwon’s next 50 years,” adding, “We will create Changwon National Industrial Complex 2.0, make bold investments in new industrial sectors, and strengthen support to create a more flexible industrial structure and enhance corporate competitiveness.”

Gu Ja-cheon, Chairman of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said in his welcoming speech, “For the past 50 years, our Changwon has always stood at the center of history as a vanguard of Korea’s industrialization.
