On July 24, the Gwangju City Government announced that it will participate in the "2025 Local Content Festa," which will be held over three days from July 25 to 27 at BEXCO in Busan, to showcase the city's unique charm and potential.

Now in its fourth year, this event will bring together 29 local governments from across the country to share hidden local cultures and development possibilities in a festival setting.

Gwangju City plans to promote its differentiated strategies through "three themed pavilions." The city will introduce its unique vision in the fields of policy, future industries, and tourism to a national audience.

The Policy Promotion Pavilion will focus on highlighting Gwangju's innovative care services and its identity as a city of culture and sports. In particular, it will introduce pioneering social welfare models such as the "Gwangju-style Integrated Care" policy and the public late-night children's hospital.

The Future Industry Pavilion will emphasize Gwangju's potential as a national AI pilot city. It will showcase the startup ecosystem centered around Gwangju Station Startup Valley, the AI Data Center, and future mobility industry strategies.

The Tourism Promotion Pavilion will highlight the city's cultural attractions in celebration of the "2025 Visit Gwangju Year." It will feature democracy and literature-themed tourism products, the National Asia Culture Center, and unique nightscape attractions.

Gwangju Mayor Kang Gijeong stated, "Gwangju is Korea's city of the future, where care, culture, AI, and mobility come together," adding, "Through this Local Content Festa, people across the country will be able to directly experience Gwangju's innovative policies and its limitless growth potential."
