This event serves as a follow-up discussion to the first Gimpo City UAM Industry Development Forum held last year, aiming to build on its achievements. The forum is designed to further develop and implement the vision of "Future City Gimpo, Season 2"-an industrial cooperation model between local governments, public institutions, and companies that Gimpo City presented at Seoul ADEX in October.

Jointly organized by Gimpo City and the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL), the forum will be held under the theme "Shaping the Future of Gimpo UAM Together." Local governments, experts, related organizations, and companies will participate to discuss practical foundations and prospects for the UAM industry from a collaborative perspective. In particular, the forum will share Gimpo City's achievements and provide in-depth discussions on future directions for industry development.

The forum will be divided into two sessions: a keynote speech on the present and future of the UAM industry; a presentation on Gimpo City's progress; presentations on the roles and strategies of various sectors for industry development; and a panel discussion on how to apply these strategies in Gimpo City.

The thematic presentations will be chaired by Moon Woochun, Director of the Advanced Aerospace Technology Research Institute at the Aerospace Industry-Academia Convergence Center and Chair of the Global Advanced Air Mobility Standardization Organization (G3AM). Participants include Kim Jaewoo, Senior Advisor at Korean Air; Kang Wonsuk, Director of Planning and Coordination at the Korea Aerospace Industries Association; and Lee Daegyu, Professor of Defense Industry Studies at Chonbuk National University.

Additionally, Jang Jaewon, Senior Researcher at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute; Song Junhyun, Manager at Hyundai Elevator; and Yoo Geumsik, Deputy General Manager at Korea Airports Corporation, will join the discussion along with representatives from KTL and Gimpo City.

The forum will be operated as an invitation-only event for key stakeholders in the UAM field. For more information, please contact Gimpo City at 031-980-5122.

A Gimpo City official stated, "This forum will advance the UAM discussions that began with last year's inaugural meeting and will serve as a meaningful opportunity to develop concrete implementation strategies for the Season 2 industrial cooperation model presented at Seoul ADEX."
