Business leaders in South Korea say Sustainability is important for companies that want to grow in other countries.
The leaders spoke at a business forum in Seoul. They shared ideas on how Korean companies can stay strong and succeed in global markets.
Hanwha said it is working to grow its shipbuilding business in the United States. The company plans to help train workers and build local skills. Leaders said strong workers and good supply chains are important for long term success.
Experts said companies should do more than sell products. They should work closely with local people, hire local workers and build trust in the communities where they do business. This can help companies grow for many years.
The speakers also said Korean companies should give more power to local managers. Local leaders often understand the needs and culture of their markets better. This can help companies make better decisions.
Another major topic was artificial intelligence or AI. Business leaders said AI can help improve safety, lower costs and make work faster. They believe AI will play a big role in the future of many industries.
Companies were also told to improve how they manage data. Good data can help AI work better and help businesses respond more quickly to customer needs.
The forum also discussed changes in the world economy. Leaders said companies must be ready for new challenges and changing markets. They should build strong partnerships and continue to develop new technology.
At the end of the event, the speakers agreed that Sustainability, local partnerships, skilled workers and AI will help Korean companies compete around the world. They said businesses that invest in people and technology today will have a better chance of success in the future.
