내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) will host Busan Finance Week 2026 on the first floor of BEXCO Convention Hall for two days, from October 16 to 17, bringing together citizens and businesses.

The event will begin with an opening ceremony at 10 a.m. on October 16. Admission is free and open to all interested members of the public.

This year's event will feature 38 diverse programs, including financial seminars, educational sessions, and recruitment information sessions, designed to encourage broad participation not only from financial institutions, businesses, and industry experts but also from the general public.

One of the most notable features of this year's event is the significant expansion of financial education programs for future generations, particularly children, teenagers, and young adults.

Children and teenagers will have opportunities to learn fundamental economic and financial principles in an engaging and accessible way through board games and other interactive activities. Family-oriented programs will also allow parents and children to participate together.

Young adults will be offered education in economics and asset management, along with job-search consulting and recruitment information sessions hosted by financial institutions, helping them develop sound financial management skills and prepare for employment.

In addition, a range of tailored programs will be offered to address the practical needs of citizens and businesses.

For the general public, financial seminars will cover topics relevant to everyday life, including domestic and international economic conditions, stock markets, real estate, pensions, and gold investment. Participants will also have opportunities to learn about and gain hands-on experience with AI and fintech, two rapidly emerging areas of interest.

For businesses, the event will provide essential information on leveraging capital markets and supporting corporate growth, including corporate value enhancement, listings on KOSDAQ and KONEX, practical aspects of initial public offerings (IPOs), and startup and growth strategies. Opportunities for networking and engagement with financial institutions will also be available.

Further details about the event are available on the official Busan Finance Week 2026 website (https://busanfinanceweek.co.kr/). Inquiries can also be directed to the Busan Finance Week Secretariat at 051-740-3434.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, "Busan Finance Week provides a meaningful opportunity for citizens, businesses, and financial institutions to come together, gain insights into financial trends, and explore new opportunities for growth."

He added, "This year, we have significantly expanded our programs to help future generations, particularly children, teenagers, and young adults, learn about finance in an accessible and engaging way while preparing for their futures. We hope many families and young adults will take advantage of the weekend to attend and participate in the event."
