Renault Korea stated on the 11th that it attended the "Local Product Priority-Purchase Promotion Event" hosted by the Busan Metropolitan City on the 10th at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO) as an excellent company in the Busan region. This event was organized as part of a work agreement in which the Busan Metropolitan City, together with about 140 organizations including government agencies, public institutions, and economic groups, is promoting the expansion of local product purchases.

On this day, the Busan Metropolitan City prepared a letter of intent to purchase 10 Renault Korea vehicles, thereby formalizing its commitment to strengthening cooperation with local manufacturing companies. Renault Korea showcased the mid-size SUV "Grand Koleos," produced at its Busan plant, at the venue, emphasizing its local production base and its commitment to mutually beneficial cooperation.

Renault Korea, which operates the Busan plant, has been recognized as a major manufacturing company in the region and has contributed to revitalizing the local economy. In January last year, it established a future vehicle production hub by updating the production facilities at the Busan plant, and at the "Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit" Global Corporate Investment Partnership event in October, it pledged additional facility investment for electric vehicle production at the Busan plant. In December, it also held talks with the Busan Metropolitan City and expressed its intention to strengthen cooperation with local parts suppliers, thereby continuously reinforcing its win-win model with the Busan region.

Renault Korea is also providing generous support for nurturing local talent by expanding industry-academia cooperation with major universities in the Busan area, such as Pusan National University and Dong-A University. A Renault Korea official said, "We will actively pursue regional coexistence and talent recruitment, including signing public-private-academic work agreements with the Busan Metropolitan City, local universities, and research institutions to build an ecosystem for the future vehicle industry."
