With sustainability at its core, the conference emphasized the urgent need for cross-country collaboration, to develop innovative solutions that can advance not only economic growth but also environmental conservation, social equity, and political stability. In an increasingly interconnected world, the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and cultural understanding between nations is essential for promoting long-term sustainable development, making platforms like this conference pivotal in shaping future global strategies. The conference was organized around three central themes: Social Innovation, Technological Breakthroughs, and Political Dynamics. Each theme was explored through a range of scholarly discussions and expert panels, shedding light on how grassroots social innovations can address inequality, how technologies can transform industries and societies, and how the evolving global geopolitical landscape will impact future governance. By encouraging participants to look at these issues through an interdisciplinary lens, the conference reinforced the idea that no single

sector or field can drive sustainable development alone—collaboration between sectors and countries is key to achieving meaningful change. Structurally, the conference was designed to facilitate rich, dynamic exchanges. The event featured plenary sessions and invited talks from renowned thought leaders, along with in-depth paper presentations and panel discussions in the individual tracks. The Poster Presentation section provided a platform for students to showcase their research and innovative ideas, contributing to the diversity of thought and engagement. Additionally, the conference highlighted cultural diplomacy through the Indo Korea Cultural Expo and Fest, which celebrated the shared heritage and cultural richness of both nations, creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding.
