UNIST, in partnership with the Ulsan Metropolitan City, hosted a roundtable meeting on Ulsan Biohealth Industry on November 27, 2025.
Took place at the Industry–University Cooperation Building of UNIST, the meeting brought together representatives from academia, industry, research institutes, and government. Attendees included UNIST Vice President Sung Chul Bae for Academic Affairs, Dean Seung Jae Baek of UNIST Graduate School of Health Science and Technology, Vice Mayor Hyo Dae An for Economic Affairs of Ulsan Metropolitan City, and leaders from regional biohealth companies.
Key agenda included trends in the global biohealth industry, an overview of Ulsan’s international expansion support programs, and case studies from companies that have benefited from these initiatives.
Recent achievements and global expansion strategies were shared at the Ulsan Biohealth Industry Roundtable.
During the session, participating companies presented tangible outcomes from Ulsan City’s overseas expansion support program—operated by UNIST—including examples of global network building, tailored business development support, and participation in international exhibitions and conferences. These cases highlighted both emerging collaboration opportunities and strategies for entering global markets.
Ulsan City also gathered feedback from companies regarding on-site challenges and policy needs, which will inform future support initiatives and the development of new programs for the region’s biohealth sector.
