Seoul is positioning itself as a global investment hub for technology, showcasing a city that can rapidly test innovations, boast tightly connected industries, and provide a plentiful supply of skilled workers. Seoul Deputy Mayor for Political Affairs Park Chan-gu highlighted the city's investment environment and competitiveness at the "Invest K-Finance: London IR 2026" event in London on Tuesday.
The event, attended by representatives from 22 global investment banks and asset management firms like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, featured discussions with Korean officials and financial leaders.
Park emphasized Seoul's three key investment strengths: its role as a fast-paced test bed for new technologies, its industrial ecosystem closely linked with global corporations, and its abundant human capital. The city's large consumer market and high digital adoption rates enable companies to test their products and services in real-world environments, according to Park.
