Move over, Silicon Valley—Asia’s innovation power duo is here! Nanjing, China’s buzzing tech and culture hub, and Daejeon, South Korea’s science playground 🤖, are celebrating 30 years of sister-city collaboration. Their secret? Mixing brains, bytes, and big dreams.
Since 1994, these cities have swapped ideas faster than K-pop dance trends. Nanjing’s manufacturing muscle 💪 meets Daejeon’s AI wizardry, creating a cross-border recipe for next-gen tech. In 2024, they doubled down with a fresh pact to boost R&D and train tomorrow’s geniuses—think ‘Oppenheimer’ meets ‘Start-Up’ vibes.
But it’s not all lab coats and algorithms! Nanjing’s delegation recently hit Daejeon’s Zero O’Clock Festival 🎉, blending tech talk with cultural beats. As APEC 2025 approaches, this partnership shows how cities can code-switch between innovation and friendship.
