Our Vision
Transforming Busan into an Arctic Gateway Hub
We are advancing Korea’s role in Arctic development by transforming Busan into a global hub for sustainable maritime innovation along the Northern Sea Route.
Transforming Busan
From Gateway to Global Hub
DAVOS envisions Busan evolving from a traditional gateway city into a dynamic operational complex city along the Northern Sea Route.
By leveraging its geographic and logistical advantages, we aim to establish Busan as a key hub for Arctic maritime cooperation, driving global trade, research, and sustainable development.
This transformation will link Asia to the Arctic through a resilient and forward-looking port city.
Our strategy includes investments in cutting-edge infrastructure, smart maritime technology, and green logistics.
By enhancing port capacity and fostering innovation, we aim to build a resilient economic ecosystem that supports both local industries and international collaboration.
Global Collaborations and Initiatives
The Arctic Urban Regional Cooperation (AURC) program plays a key role in our mission, enabling collaboration among Arctic cities and institutions.
Through global partnerships, we address climate challenges and create new economic opportunities in the Arctic region.
We work closely with leading research institutions and international partners to promote innovation in maritime development.
Together, we are building a global network of cities that share knowledge, develop sustainable solutions, and advance collective progress.
