Saemangeum Development Corporation is showcasing the future of the Saemangeum smart waterfront city at the 2026 World Smart City Expo.
The corporation announced on September 9 that it will introduce plans for smart city services in the first city being developed in Saemangeum, the 'Saemangeum Smart Waterfront City,' during the expo, which runs until September 11.
The World Smart City Expo is the largest international smart city event in Asia, co-hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and Busan Metropolitan City. Saemangeum Development Corporation has consistently participated in this event over the past four years to promote the Saemangeum smart waterfront city.
Last May, the corporation changed the development concept of the waterfront city to 'Creating Saemangeum First City with Businesses.' Since then, it has established three key development strategies: a business-supporting hinterland city, a livable luxury city, and a uniquely attractive city, along with a basic plan for the smart city.
This exhibition will focus on the smart city plan for Saemangeum, total mobility across land, sea, and air, and smart safe city initiatives, presenting the future vision of the smart waterfront city and various smart services.
Additionally, the corporation plans to showcase some of the AI hydrogen city spatial implementation plans and priority business plans linked to Hyundai Motor Group's announcement of a 9 trillion won investment in Saemangeum earlier this year.
As Saemangeum transitions into a complex development site with industrial complexes, hinterland cities, and mobility and energy infrastructure, the execution of the smart city concept is expected to be a key factor in its future competitiveness.
Na Kyung-kyun, president of Saemangeum Development Corporation, stated, "The Saemangeum Smart Waterfront City, the first city in Saemangeum, marks the starting point for a future-oriented city. We will actively support the creation of smart cities and AI hydrogen cities in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group and related agencies."
