□ Busan’s unwavering support for small and medium-sized enterprises and technology development since 2021 has begun to bear fruit by achieving the most significant number of winners.
□ In cooperation with municipal organizations, the city of Busan implemented various support programs to help cutting-edge SMEs and startups take part in CES 2025.
○ Along with the Busan Economic Promotion Agency, the Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency, Busan Techno Park, and the Creative Economy Innovation Center, we offered support not only for exhibition involvement, but also for capacity-building training, investor relations, and meetups.
○ Rooted in these endeavors, our local companies have been able to demonstrate their innovative prowess globally, and the city could earn a record number of prize recipients.
□ Next year, for the first time, we will operate a dedicated area at CES 2025 under the Busan Pavilion, with 25 booths for 23 companies that have their headquarters in the city.
