In late October 2026, Daegu hosted the 22nd Korea-Japan (Hokuriku) Economic Exchange Conference, the first such event in the city since 2013. The summit brought together approximately 120 participants from South Korea and Japan to discuss cooperation in future industries, including mobility, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Following this international exchange, the city scheduled the ‘2026 Daegu Future Strategy Forum’ to address regional economic restructuring. This forum focuses on transforming the industrial structure through the development of semiconductor and AI industries, specifically targeting the AI transformation of manufacturing sectors such as machinery and metal.
