The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Business Forum opened on 2 July in Seoul attended by 220 representatives of 122 companies from the seven member states of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ project.

In his video address (pictured) °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Director-General Osamu Motojima stressed the "essential part" that industry plays in the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Project. "And by 'industry' I mean all industry," he said, "not only the large international companies that are familiar with big projects, but also the small and medium-sized firms that drive economic growth and technological innovation in most countries today."

The °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Business Forum continues until 4 July, with thematic sessions on the different °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ components and plant systems and presentations from industry.
