This large-scale initiative will run from September 28 to October 16, with the theme \"Gateway to Asia's Most Dynamic Capital Market.\" The event, co-hosted by the Financial Services Commission and the Korea Exchange, will see the participation of 42 organizations and 55 listed companies.\n\nTraditionally, investor relations events and capital market conferences in Korea have been handled separately by individual institutions, making it challenging to attract foreign institutional investors to a unified platform.

Following this, the event will feature policy sessions and other discussions aimed at showcasing the competitiveness of Korea's stock market on the global stage.",
