Material ConneXion Daegu to Open in Daegu Gyeongbuk Design Center in June 2008Material
ConneXion, the leading global resource for material solutions and
innovations, is expanding its global reach in Asia with the
establishment of its fourth international licensee, this one in Daegu
Metropolitan City, Korea.
Scheduled to open in June 2008, it will occupy the third-floor of the
newly built Daegu Gyeongbuk Design Center (DGDC), a twelve-story
building dedicated to design and color.
"Material ConneXion Daegu will serve as a catalyst for the growth of
Korea's domestic material and design industry," said Jung Yong Bin,
President of DGDC.
"It will also help the DGDC increase its presence on the global stage."
"As one of the fastest growing design hubs in Asia, Daegu has become an
important arena for the exchange and development of new ideas and
processes," stated George M. Beylerian, Founder and CEO of Material
ConneXion.
"We are excited to contribute our materials expertise, experience and
resources to the region's burgeoning design industry and look forward
to the pivotal role Material ConneXion will play in the economic growth
and cultural climate of Daegu and Korea beyond."
Material ConneXion Daegu will offer the same services as the locations
in Bangkok, Cologne, Milan and New York: An innovative materials
library, consulting services-customized materials research, innovation
alerts and materials trend reporting-and a wide range of public
programming, including exhibitions and conferences focused on materials
innovation.
