- In the first half of 2025, leading government agencies from Europe and Asia visited the BJFEZ Promotion Center to benchmark free-trade–oriented industrial policies and logistics infrastructure.

- The center is emerging as a Key Venue for Corporate and University Training, Offering Hands-On Policy Education and Investment Environment Experiences

The Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority (Commissioner Park Seong-ho, hereinafter “BJFEZ”) announced that, throughout the first half of 2025, its Promotion Center (BJFEZ Vision Hall) has continued to welcome delegations from major domestic and international institutions and companies, solidifying its role as a central hub for benchmarking, training, and education.

During this period, delegations from more than ten countries — including the European Union (EU) Delegation, the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK), the German Federal Association for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (BVMID), Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Vietnam–Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP), Hubei Province of China, and Taoyuan City of Taiwan — visited the Promotion Center. These visits provided opportunities to experience BJFEZ’s smart logistics systems, eco-friendly development strategies, and industrial complex management models firsthand, while exploring potential avenues for cooperation.

Academic exchanges with leading overseas universities have also been active.. Faculty members and graduate students from Florida International University (FIU), the University of Texas at Austin, and Minnesota State University, Mankato, visited the center to study BJFEZ’s global investment promotion strategies, focusing on its tri-port location advantages and industrial infrastructure. The center’s use as a hands-on education space that integrates policy and industry is steadily increasing.

In addition, major companies and organizations such as Taekwang Fujikin, the Korea Safety Technology Association, and the Korea Port Logistics Association are actively using the Vision Hall for new employee training, business briefings, and on-site practical education. BJFEZ plans to further utilize its facilities — including conference rooms, a media theater, and lounges — as multi-purpose spaces, both online and offline formats, for field-based talent development in cooperation with local universities and companies.

A BJFEZ official stated, “The Promotion Center is evolving into a multi-functional platform where benchmarking, cooperative exchanges, and education occur simultaneously. We will continue to expand connections with global institutions and businesses, and strengthen our position as Northeast Asia’s logistics hub by delivering smart administrative services.”
