Naju, Opening the FutureTogether with the World
Greetings. I am Yoon Byung-tae, Mayor of Naju.
Naju is a city where 2,000 years of history meet the abundance of the Yeongsangang River. It is also a city looking ahead and preparing for a new future. While carrying forward our rich historical and cultural heritage, we are turning energy, agri-bio, education, and tourism into new opportunities for growth.
As South Korea’s Energy Special City, Naju is strengthening its foundation as an energy industry hub centered around the Bitgaram Innovation City. We are also expanding our potential in emerging energy fields, including artificial sun technology.
Building on Naju’s rich agri-bio resources, including the Yeongsangang River and Naju pears, we are enhancing the city’s unique competitiveness and creating an attractive destination where history, culture, and nature come together.
We are also committed to education for the future. Through our local universities and educational institutions, we are expanding the city’s educational foundations and developing Naju into a center of learning that engages with the world and prepares for the future.
Naju is now taking a leap forward—growing beyond Korea into a global city. We will expand cooperation with countries around the world, share the value of Naju’s energy industry, agriculture, culture, and tourism, and create new opportunities for the future.
A city growing together with the world. We look forward to your continued interest and partnership as Naju embarks on this new journey. Thank you.
