At the Integrated Busan Pavilion opening ceremony, Yang Jae-saeng, Chairman of the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, delivered a congratulatory speech stating, “This year, 23 Busan companies are participating in CES, about twice as many as last year, so expectations are high,” and added, “Next year at CES, with many excellent local companies participating, the Integrated Busan Pavilion will expand further in scale, and the local economic community will also work together to actively promote local companies to the world.”

After participating in the Integrated Busan Pavilion opening ceremony, Chairman Yang toured the exhibition hall as a group, examining global technology trends and innovation cases, and held a separate meeting with local participating companies, including startups, to listen to management difficulties and offer encouragement.

The Busan Chamber observer delegation will later join the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry chairman’s party to continue the CES observation schedule, then travel together to Atlanta to visit Kia Motors’ Georgia plant and other local sites before returning to Korea on the 13th.
