GREETINGS
As the Mayor of the Daegu Metropolitan City, it is my great
pleasure and honor to introduce to you Daegus small and
medium-sized businesses and their products.
Located in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, Daegu
is the nations third largest city. Based on sufficient
experiences in hosting international sporting events and
meetings, Daegu has organized various international events, such
as the IAAF World Championships Daegu 2011 and World Energy
Conference 2013. In addition, the World Water Forum will take
place in 2015.
Daegu also boasts of its convenient and efficient transportation
network which includes the KTX high speed train, international
airport, highways and roads. Koreas capital, Seoul, is 100
minutes away from Daegu by KTX and four of its major ports are
within one hour or so drive.
Daegus major industries are machinery, auto parts, textile,
textile machinery and IT. However, you will also find that the
city has a lot more to offer when you do business with its many
diverse companies.

been looking for in your business.
