Korea University Business School (KUBS) has launched “KUBS Futurum,” an annual forum on the topic of the future. The KUBS Futurum, which means future in Latin and is a compound word made up of “Future” and “Forum,” consists of △Lecture Series, △Asia Tri-lateral Seminar, and △Business and Economic Outlook.
The KUBS Futurum aims to discover, ponder, and offer insights into the future issues that Korean society and economy will confront. Under the slogan “KU-the Future,” signifying that KU will open, lead, and make the future, Korea University has been exerting its utmost efforts to nurture talents for the future society since 2015.

Every May, the Lecture Series brings in world-renowned figures to share their insights. The session is intended to keep up with the latest trends on changes in a future society and to discuss about the outcomes of those changes.
The Asia Trilateral Seminar is held every August in conjunction with Peking University in China and Hitotsubashi University in Japan. The purpose of the session is to share strategies for the fourth industrial revolution with China and Japan, which are deeply tied to Korea economically. This year’s seminar is titled “Corporate Strategies in China, Japan, and Korea in the New Normal Era.”
In December, KUBS and the Department of Economics will jointly run the “Business and Economic Outlook.” Although a number of institutes in Korea and abroad release the microeconomic outlook, there is no single institute that provides specific outlook by industry. Hence, KUBS and the Department of Economics plan to publish a prospect report, covering quantitative outlook by sales, revenues, and investments of each industry. Reports will be released at an open seminar held in every early December and distributed online for free.
“The KUBS Futurum will provide the opportunity to examine the fourth industrial revolution, which elevates uncertainty for the future, and to find directions for humanity to steer,” KUBS Dean Soo Young Kwon said. “I hope you will be able to learn how companies facing Intelligence Society will transform and also how the Korean economy can survive in this rapidly changing environment. In addition, this forum allows intellectuals to assemble and think about what entrepreneurship is.”
