Busan-si selected 90 leading companies which will drive 9 strategic industries
On December 3, Busan-si announced that it has selected 90 companies as the "2026 Strategic Industry Leading Companies" that will drive Busan's 9 key strategic industries.
A certificate award ceremony will be held later this afternoon at the Westin Josun Busan in Haeundae-gu.
The strategic industry leading companies are representative firms that lead key industries aligned with Busan's industrial structure and regional characteristics, moving away from the industry development system centered around the Seoul metropolitan area.
The 9 key strategic industries are digital tech, future mobility, energy tech, convergence components and materials, bio-health, lifestyle, culture and tourism, marine, and finance.
This year, 90 companies were selected for their competitiveness and growth potential, aligning with the goals of fostering new future industries, enhancing core industries, and strengthening global infrastructure.
When selected as leading companies, they will receive benefits such as certification for the next three years, preferential loans and guarantees, special guarantees, and support for technology development and commercialization, among others.
Busan-si will also provide support for these companies to grow into global firms, aligning with its growth ladder policies such as Hidden Champions, Global Hidden Champions, and World Class companies.
Busan's Mayor stated, "In order for Busan to become a global hub city, the role of Busan's capable companies is crucial, and we will actively support the growth of leading companies."
