The forum was organized to foster a corporate culture where employees can proactively respond to changes in the external environment and continuously engage in research and learning.

The first lecture of this year’s forum was delivered by Kim Deokjin, Director of the IT Communication Research Institute, under the theme, "What Is AI Telling Sampyo? - What Manufacturing Leaders Must Do Now." Director Kim assessed the current state of AI technology and conducted an in-depth analysis of its application in similar industries both domestically and internationally. He placed particular emphasis not just on the technical aspects, but on deriving practical AI adoption strategies and implications tailored to the unique business characteristics of each Sampyo Group affiliate.

Sampyo Group believes that, as AI adoption accelerates across all industries, only proactive learning and agile responses can drive new paradigms in manufacturing. The company expects this leadership forum to provide executives, who are key decision-makers, with insights into the latest AI technology trends and to encourage them to consider the future direction of the business.

Since 2024, the "Sampyo Group Executive Leadership Forum" has gone beyond one-off knowledge sharing by analyzing domestic and international trends, as well as Sampyo’s business environment, from multiple perspectives to select the most relevant theme each year. The forum is held regularly four times a year.

The direction of this year’s forums was set by actively reflecting macroeconomic trends and the results of a business issues survey conducted among executives. Starting with the first theme, "Identifying Corporate Gaps from AI Adoption" (paradigm shift), topics directly connected to the Group’s current challenges and future growth drivers—including "Building Organizations that Deliver Results" (fostering a creative and collaborative culture to strengthen internal execution)—will be addressed sequentially.
