Gyeongju 2026: Investment Breakthrough for Local Entrepreneurs
- The Gyeongbuk Center for Creative Economy & Innovation and Gyeongju Hwabaek Convention Bureau have decided to jointly hold the 2026 Local Brand Fair and Startup Festival.
- The focus will be on IR, investment matching, and the AX Forum.
- With the proportion of non-metropolitan investment stuck at 21%, this is a valuable opportunity for local teams to meet investors.
- However, the advantage gained in Gyeongju comes more from directly linking local industries and product validation in tourism, manufacturing, and culture than from lower competition rates.
- Simply attaching a connection by force makes it hard to secure subsequent investments.
