Mayor of Incheon (2018-2022)

edit

Park visited the production facility of Samsung Biologics to seek city support to turn Songdo International City into a world-class biocluster.[3]

"My ultimate goal is not only nurturing our own manpower, but also from elsewhere in Asia, as interest in biotechnology is high on the continent. Since we are equipped with an Incheon International Airport with good infrastructure, the city can play a role in training those who wish to be taught."

— Mayor Park from an interview with Korea JoongAng Daily, [4]
