First, at the first part, the business agreement ceremony, Mayor Park Hyung-jun and the heads of the eight marine and fisheries research institutions will all attend to sign the business agreement directly and promise to support the fostering and development of the marine and fisheries industry by carrying out close mutual cooperation and exchange activities.

Specifically, they will mutually cooperate in ▲ fostering data-based marine new industries and marine bio companies, ▲ joint response to marine radioactive contamination and revitalization of public marine and fisheries institutions in the Dongsam Innovation District, and ▲ training marine field experts and promoting marine education and culture. In particular, they will cooperate in the ▲ bid for the 2030 World Expo Busan, which the city and government are vigorously pursuing after successfully completing the recent on-site inspection by the International Exhibitions Bureau.

Next, the second part, the business meeting, will be attended by Mayor Park Hyung-jun and representatives of marine industry companies, along with the heads of the eight marine and fisheries research institutions who participated in the agreement.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun, who will directly preside over the meeting, plans to listen to the difficulties of businesspeople such as marine industry company representatives and actively reflect them in policies. Through this, they intend to devise customized support measures that businesspeople actually need in their management sites and simultaneously expand support for operating funds, provide startup spaces, and enhance startup consulting in a substantial way.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “Through this business agreement and meeting, we will establish an industry-academia-research-government cooperation system with marine and fisheries research institutions and marine industry companies in the Dongsam Innovation District and gather the capabilities of these institutions and companies as a leading city in the marine economy.” He added, “Furthermore, we will secure momentum to create quality jobs by promoting data-based marine new industries, smart aquaculture, and expanding the startup ecosystem.”
