About FKI > Who we are > CI
Founded in 1961, the Federation of Korean Industries played a contributing role
in the early foundations of Korean industrial development.
Over time, the nascent Korean economy rapidly evolved
into a global top 10 economic powerhouse.
However, the present-day seismic shifts demand that we undergo profound transformations.
Thus, we have bestowed on ourselves a fitting new mission, to return to our founding roots of
‘Serving the Nation Through Business,’ upholding the legacy of entrepreneurship in Korea.
We have unveiled our vision, “Paving the way for the Korean economy’s next great leap on the global stage,” and laid out a blueprint to become “a leading global think tank.”
The FKI’s new CI reflects these new commitments.
