Learn about Business and Investment Opportunities in Korea’s Leading Transportation, Logistics, and Industrial Center

Busan, a thriving metropolitan center, is located on the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula. With approximately 3.7 million residents, it is the second largest city in Korea. Busan’s deep harbor and gentle tides have transformed it into the largest port in the country – handling 80% of total Korean container volume -- and the third largest transshipment container facility in the world.

Busan’s plans to further expand, and develop, a new port facility combined with the creation of the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone provide a range of exciting new business and investment opportunities and position the area for even further growth moving forward.

U.S. firms seeking to enhance their international competitiveness and to improve supply chain efficiencies are urged to meet with the visiting delegation of business and government leaders from Busan to learn more about how they can take advantage of the exciting developments now underway.
