Daejeon Mayor Lee Jang-woo attended the "Conference of Montreal," an international policy forum held in Montreal, Canada, on June 11 (local time). There, he held a meeting with representatives from Quebec Province, Canada, to discuss cooperation in the aerospace industry. This meeting is being evaluated as a significant step for Daejeon City to strengthen its international standing as a hub for Korea's aerospace industry and to create synergy with Quebec Province's advanced aerospace technology and infrastructure.

Daejeon City is the center of South Korea's scientific and technological research and development, with numerous aerospace research institutions concentrated within its borders. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) and the Agency for Defense Development (ADD), along with a multitude of advanced technology companies and research institutes, are located within the Daedeok Innopolis. This gives Daejeon outstanding capabilities in various fields, including space launch vehicles, satellite technology, and aircraft component development.

Notably, Daejeon was recently designated as the 'National Space Industry Cluster - Satellite Specialized Zone,' receiving full government support. This designation is accelerating the city's efforts to build infrastructure and attract businesses for the creation of a robust space industry ecosystem. Against this backdrop, Daejeon City is pursuing a strategy to expand its global aerospace industry footprint through international cooperation.
