Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Kwon, Youngjin and I am the mayor of
Daegu Metropolitan City.
First of all, I would like to express my sincere
congratulations on successful opening of Internet
Research 15 conference.
![Page 17: Aoir 2014 welcome speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547e7a50b379596a2b8b54a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I'd also like to extend my warm welcome to all the
participants from all over the world including
Dr. Lori Kendall, President of AoIR.
Especially, I would like to thank Prof. Han-woo Park,
the president of Asia Triple-Helix Society, for
organizing this conference.
![Page 18: Aoir 2014 welcome speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547e7a50b379596a2b8b54a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
I feel very pleased and meaningful that this highly
qualified conference is being held in Daegu, Korea
that is known as an internet powerhouse in the
world for the first time in Asia.
During this conference, I understand that eminent
internet experts discuss internet contents and
report the outcome of its research that can be
applied to ICT industry and policies.
![Page 19: Aoir 2014 welcome speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547e7a50b379596a2b8b54a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Meanwhile, technologies have been a major
approach to develop ICT industry. However, this
conference is very inspiring, because contents area
of the industry is mainly focused on and discussed,
so I believe that this can be further developed and
promoted as one sector of creative industry.
![Page 20: Aoir 2014 welcome speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547e7a50b379596a2b8b54a0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
As your continuous enthusiasm and efforts have led
the development of global ICT, it would be our great
privilege witnessing your passionate discussion in
lifting the level of world ICT industry.
In addition, your advice regarding the industrial
directions for the future of Daegu will be greatly
appreciated. And I expect your continuous interests
and guidelines for Daegu will help my city to become a
leading city of ICT industry in Korea.

Dear participants of IR 15!
As the 3rd largest city in Korea with 2.5 million
population, Daegu is a city of an entrepreneurial
spirit, where Samsung started its first business.
Also, as a leading city of Korean industrialization, it
has well-developed industries, such as Textile,
Machinery and Automobile Parts industry.
![Page 22: Aoir 2014 welcome speech](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062615/547e7a50b379596a2b8b54a0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I wholeheartedly hope that you will have meaningful
memories and experience the colorful Daegu with
harmonized cultures between tradition and modernism.
Also, I wish the IR15 success and the ICT industry
huge progress.
