The World Investment Forum, which will be held in Busan in October, will be hosted by Pave the Path, which promotes the Busan International Blockchain & AI Alliance(BIBAA) project and the 2030 World Expo Ambassador program with the Eulogian Foundation.
The 2030 World Expo Ambassador Program is to recruit and conduct World Expo delegations for each country in order to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan.
The official of the forum said, “Investment firms around the world are very interested in South Korea, where the country is still operating normally in the Corona phase, They are paying attention to the fact that Busan is the world’s first officially designated regulatory free zone for blockchain, and this is crucial to why Busan can become a city that can create a global technological standard for the fourth industrial revolution,” he said, revealing the background held in Busan.
“The Eulogian Foundation and others are paying attention to the fact that the 2030 World Expo in Busan could lead to North Korea’s economic opening and the Eurasian railway project. This will create tens of times more value than the current value if North Korea`s mineral resources, which are known to have a potential value of $3 trillion and South Korea`s top technology companies work together to develop and mass-produce new material,”he added.
