Seoul
The cooperation between Basel and the South Korean capital, Seoul, has been in place since 2022. The aim is to strengthen cooperation in the fields of life sciences and start-up promotion, urban development and architecture, art and design as well as civil peacebuilding.
Mutual interests
Seoul is the political, economic and cultural centre of South Korea, and the majority of Korean universities are located in the metropolis. This offers interesting entry points for Basel as an economic, research and innovation hub. The cities thus have a mutual interest in enhancing cooperation in the areas of life sciences and the promotion of start-ups, urban development, architecture, art and design as well as civil peacebuilding.
Memorandum of Understanding
The then President of the Government of the Canton of Basel-Stadt, Beat Jans, and the Mayor of Seoul, Oh Se-hoon, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sealing the city cooperation in Seoul in September 2022. The goal of the cooperation is to offer stakeholders from Basel optimum support during their activities and partnerships in Seoul, and to ensure good framework conditions and access at the political level.
It particularly aims to strengthen initiatives and cooperation in the areas of life sciences, innovation, climate, research and development, business, culture, tourism and education.
Memorandum of Understanding
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a declaration of intent to pursue common goals.
