This briefing is organized to directly listen to the voices of the petrochemical industry, which is struggling due to global oversupply and economic recession, to seek solutions, and to share Ulsan City's business-friendly policy direction.

With a total of 40 participants, including Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, deputy heads of Ulsan City and district/county offices, Lee Choonkil, Executive Vice President of SK Innovation Ulsan Complex, Choi Woojin, Head of Chemical Production at SK Geocentric, and other company representatives, the event will proceed in the order of listening to and responding to business challenges, followed by monthly business plan reports from Ulsan City and the districts/counties.

At the company meeting held prior to the business plan briefing, Lee Choonkil, Executive Vice President of SK Innovation Ulsan Complex, will propose the following business challenges: ▲Support from Ulsan City for the crisis-stricken petrochemical industry ▲Designation and early implementation of a distributed energy specialized zone ▲Securing parking spaces within the industrial complex ▲Active promotion of industrial landscape improvement projects.

Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom is expected to instruct relevant department heads to take swift action after listening to the companies' concerns.

First, for the crisis in the petrochemical industry, the city will actively pursue the designation of an 'Industrial Crisis Preemptive Response Area' and provide prompt administrative support at both the government and city levels.

In addition, regarding the distributed energy specialized zone, the city plans to expedite the application and selection process and ensure early implementation of the project, as well as actively support the expansion of insufficient infrastructure within the industrial complex.

Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom emphasized, "In order to turn the crisis in the petrochemical industry into an opportunity, we will continue to promote regulatory innovation and administrative support. At the same time, Ulsan is creating new breakthroughs to strengthen industrial competitiveness through the designation of distributed energy specialized zones led by the city and the implementation of regionally differentiated electricity rates," adding, "We will continue to provide opportunities for direct communication with businesses to listen to their voices and seek solutions together."
