Daejeon City will participate in the '2025 Korea Local Era Expo,' which will be held from November 19 to 21 at the Ulsan Exhibition and Convention Center in Ulsan Metropolitan City, to introduce its six strategic industries using the Kkumssi Family characters.

This Local Era Expo marks the fourth event since the integration of the 'Balanced Development Expo' and the 'Local Autonomy Expo' in 2022. In 2023, it was hosted in Daejeon.

Daejeon City has set the theme of its exhibition hall as 'Wonderland Daejeon, City of Dreams,' and plans to use the Kkumssi Family characters to showcase the six strategic industries, the Daejeon Zero O'Clock Festival, and more, conveying the message that Daejeon is a vibrant city of science and fun.

Meanwhile, in the Basic Society Hall within the expo venue, two Daejeon City projects have been selected as outstanding cases and will be exhibited. The outstanding cases are: ▲ a comprehensive survey on welfare blind spots for people with developmental disabilities using an administrative network, led by the Welfare for the Disabled Division, and ▲ a growth support program for slow learners (individuals with borderline intelligence) in the education sector, led by the Dong-gu Future Education Division.

Additionally, at the 2025 Regional Balanced Development Project Best Practices Awards Ceremony, which will be held in the afternoon of November 20 during the event, Daejeon City is scheduled to receive an institutional commendation. The award-winning project is 'Daejeon, a Leading City in Preventing Solitary Deaths, with Communities and Medical Services Working Together,' promoted by the Welfare Policy Division.

Jeon Jaehyun, Director-General of Administration and Autonomy, stated, "Through the Local Era Expo, we will promote Daejeon's image nationwide as a city full of joy through science and festivals," and asked for citizens' interest and support.
