Last year’s '2024 Gyeonggi-Goyang Global Bio Forum (GBF 2024)' was held under the theme of 'Fostering the Global Bio Industry for Innovative Economy in Northern Gyeonggi.' Han Yonghae, CEO of HLB Group, presented on the outlook for the global pharmaceutical and bio industries, while Ulf Nehrbass, Director of the Luxembourg National Health Institute, proposed strategies for cooperation with Europe.

In addition, representatives from industry, academia, research, and hospitals, including the National Cancer Center, Myongji Hospital, Lutronic, and Cosmax Bio, participated in a panel discussion to deeply discuss the direction for establishing the Goyang Bio Cluster. Local bio companies such as Lutronic, MBD, and Genome & Company shared their cases of overseas expansion and innovative technologies, drawing attention from the industry.

This year’s forum will provide an advanced platform for discussions under the theme of 'AI and Digital Transformation: Sustainable Growth Strategies for the Goyang Bio Industry.'

Kim Juhan, Vice President for Research at Seoul National University, will deliver the keynote speech, and Kim Yeol, Director of External Cooperation at the National Cancer Center, along with Lee Kyung, Dean of the College of Pharmacy at Dongguk University, will give thematic presentations.

This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts from the National Cancer Center, Ilsan Paik Hospital, and Myongji Hospital. Bio-venture companies such as Aptis and Pharos iBio will share their AI-based new drug development strategies.

Lee Donghwan, Mayor of Goyang Special City, stated, "While last year’s forum laid the foundation for international cooperation and networking, this year will mark the beginning of establishing a precision medicine cluster centered on AI and big data. We will actively support Goyang City in its leap to become a global bio-innovation city."
