It is a pleasure to extend my warmest greetings to all participants joining the 1st International Conference on Valufacturing (ICV 2026), taking place from May 26 to 28, 2026, at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, Republic of Korea.
ICV 2026 represents a significant opportunity for global experts, industry leaders, and researchers to gather and explore the emerging era of Valufacturing. As manufacturing continues to evolve, our field is entering a stage where value creation is driven not only by production efficiency but also by intelligence, connectivity, and sustainable innovation. Through this conference, we aim to encourage dialogue, share forward-looking perspectives, and promote collaboration that strengthens the foundation of next-generation manufacturing.
The concept of Valufacturing emphasizes a holistic approach to creating value—one that integrates human-centered design, data-driven decision-making, cooperative systems, technological independence, and environmental responsibility. By advancing these principles, we seek to reshape manufacturing into a discipline that elevates both industrial competitiveness and societal well-being.
This year’s host city, Incheon, offers a dynamic environment where cutting-edge urban development and cultural richness coexist. Songdo, in particular, is known as one of the world’s leading smart cities, equipped with advanced infrastructure and a vibrant international community. We hope your time in Korea allows you not only to engage in meaningful academic and professional exchange but also to experience the country’s welcoming hospitality, distinctive traditions, and innovative spirit.
I trust that ICV 2026 will be a productive and inspiring forum for building new partnerships, strengthening global networks, and shaping a shared vision for the future of manufacturing.
Thank you for your participation. I look forward to welcoming you to Songdo in May 2026.
