Visit to LG Solution
Professor Hee-Jung Jun, accompanied by dr Anna Mempel-Śnieżyk, prof. UEW from Department of Spatial Economy and Local Government Administration, participated in a productive meeting at LG Solution and the discussion revolved around:
- the impact of LG Solution’s activities on urban and regional development, particularly in areas such as infrastructure, housing, and transportation,
- the strategic reasons behind LG’s decision to establish operations in Poland, such as government incentives and regional advantages,
- LG’s role in fostering local employment, engaging with the community, and promoting sustainability.
The visit offered valuable insights into the synergy between global enterprises and local development, providing practical perspectives to inform research and policy-making. Professor Hee-Jung Jun’s visit exemplified the power of international academic collaboration and fostered a deeper understanding of the connections between global initiatives and local impact. We look forward to further enriching our partnership with Sungkyunkwan University.
