Chairperson greetings

Moosung Chung

Greetings! I’m Moosung Chung,
chairman of the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation.
The Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation has been pursuing a new direction as a "global foundation leading social change and innovation" since 2020. It is driving three major future innovation platform projects, including the People Platform, which nurtures future leaders for a sustainable society; the Space Platform, which facilitates communication and collaboration with future generations; and the Knowledge Platform, which focuses on discovering and researching innovative solutions to social issues.

The representative project of the People Platform is the "Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Scholarship." Over the course of five years from 2021, the goal of the platform is to nurture 1,100 future talents in six fields: global affairs, future industries, international cooperation, social innovation, arts and culture, and social integration.

The Space Platform, known as "OnDream Society," was established in the Page Myeongdong Building in front of Myeongdong Cathedral. With an environmentally-friendly space design, it serves as community space for engaging with future generations. It's aim is to address environmental and social issues and foster eco-friendly social ventures.

The Knowledge Platform focuses on innovative research to address global social issues. It's aim is to develop practical solutions and share them with the public through the Future Knowledge Forum, with a focus on significant issues in future society and their solutions.

The Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation has been walking step by step towards its vision of becoming a "global foundation leading social change and innovation." In line with the founder's intention to "care for those in difficult circumstances and provide a solid ladder of hope," the foundation has been sincerely carrying out social contribution programs. These include providing scholarships for children of firefighters, police officers, and public officials, supporting medical expenses for low-income orphaned children, and implementing the OnDream School program, which visits rural elementary schools.

Moving forward, the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation will continue to make every effort to build a sustainable society in collaboration with future generations. It will strive to be a trusted foundation, earning the trust and love of the public.

Thank you.

Chair of the Hyundai Motor Chung Mong-Koo Foundation Moosung Chung
