World Ocean Forum(WOF), also known as the Davos Forum in the ocean field, has reached the 18th edition in this year.
The World Maritime Forum has developed into Korea's longest-running maritime forum to highlight global maritime issues and create value and business by inviting world-class maritime industry experts and scholars from around the world.
With the great transformation of the world economy and recovery from the pandemic, the ocean is once again being spotlighted as a force for global economic leap forward. In this great transition, we hope that the World Ocean Forum will become a venue to present new concepts for K-Ocean that will attract attention in a new era. This year, the World Ocean Forum plans to come to you as a hybrid forum, both online and offline.
We ask for your interest and participation in the 18th World Ocean Forum in 2024, which will be held in Busan, the maritime capital of Northeast Asia, in September.
thank you.
