As South Korea’s industries prepare for a rebound from COVID-19, they are facing new challenges and opportunities.

Changes in our everyday lives due to the new coronavirus have become an irreversible trend, shaking markets and industries. They have accelerated the “fourth industrial revolution” and the digital transformation, leading to massive innovation across all fields.

On top of that, the growing specter of a global climate disaster is forcing carbon-intensive industries to transform themselves to achieve carbon neutrality.

But there is opportunity in every crisis. Only businesses ready to change will be able to seize the unlimited chances of the new era.

In this regard, The Korea Herald, the nation’s top English-language newspaper, would like to invite you to a forum to share insights on the post-pandemic path for our businesses, industries and economy. The fourth Korea Herald Biz Forum takes place Oct. 26, 2021 at the Hotel Shilla, Seoul. This year’s theme is “The Shape of the Future: Industry Trends as the World Rebounds From the Pandemic.”

We will discuss three main topics: the global net-zero push, the digital transformation, and the new business frontiers emerging out of new technologies such as the metaverse. Together with the best experts in each field, you can delve into their significance and better predict what is to come.

Please join us on this journey to explore the changes that will determine the future of industries.

Thank you.

October 2021
