Host City - Incheon

Located on the central west coast of the Korean Peninsula, Incheon is the second largest port city in Korea and has been a major gateway for commercial and cultural exchanges since late 19th century.

It is the city which looks for the future, embracing "smart" urbanization to ensure that technological developments are in balance with the beautiful natural environment and the lives of people who live there.

Since Songdo became the center of Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) based on its advanced infrastructure, Incheon has long been playing a pivotal role as the gateway of Korea to the world outside, serving to make the country the beacon of modernity as it is today.
