The bank said on the 26th that Kang attended the opening ceremony the previous day for the Pangyo Corporate Finance Center in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. The center is tasked with focusing support on future growth industries tied to the Pangyo area, including artificial intelligence, data, information technology and semiconductors.
Kang said the bank will “take the lead in fostering and supporting growth in advanced technology industries” by reflecting the characteristics of local client companies, and will “expand region-tailored productive finance to boost economic vitality.”
Also on the 25th, Kang visited the Gyeonggi Business and Science Accelerator, which supports small and midsize companies and industrial innovation, to assess on-the-ground demand for financial services. He then went to the bank’s Gyeonggi headquarters and said he would continue field-focused management so that feedback from front-line staff can be translated into practical financial support policies.
A bank official said the Pangyo foothold will be used to strengthen financial solutions tailored to specialized industries by region. The official said the bank plans to continue on-site management by touring major regions nationwide to expand cooperation with companies and institutions and to hear from employees.
