In his congratulatory remarks, Junseon Min, Head of Deal Division at Samil PwC, emphasized the importance of a private collaborative ecosystem where mid-sized enterprises and investment institutions grow together. He stated, "In a rapidly changing global environment, leaders must have the insight to turn uncertainty into opportunity. I hope this platform, centered on the alumni association, will continue to foster exchange and collaboration, evolving beyond the connection of knowledge to designing new opportunities."


As a special lecturer, Miyeong Jeon, CEO of Trend Korea Company, presented "Horse Power" as the key theme of the recently published "Trend Korea 2026." Jeon noted, "In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), the true winners will not be machines but humans who leverage machines to think deeply." She further predicted, "In particular, 'centaur-type talents' who combine the capabilities of AI and humans will drive the sustainable growth of companies in the future."


Yeonwoo Choi, Director of Mid-sized Enterprise Policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, stated, "Investment is a very important factor in strengthening the global competitiveness of companies and securing future growth engines. We will spare no effort to support mid-sized companies in seeking qualitative innovation and growth through bold and continuous investment."



Hojun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Federation of Mid-sized Enterprises, said, "Focusing on the discussions of the forum, we will closely communicate with the government and the National Assembly to create a legal, institutional, and policy environment that promotes innovative investments by mid-sized enterprises, such as discovering new growth engines and pioneering global markets."
