Titled "Understanding the Future Through Global Trends," the lectures shared firsthand insights gained by the Toss Securities Research Center during visits to Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C., Texas, and other locations in the United States from 2024 to 2025. Topics included the innovation ecosystems of Silicon Valley startups and big tech companies; policies and regulations affecting major industries such as semiconductors, AI, and energy; and factors driving the movement of companies and talent.


The sessions also examined how AI and technological advances could transform industries and jobs, as well as the skills needed for future careers, connecting global industry trends with young people's career paths. Participants asked practical questions about careers and career development in the AI era, prompting lively discussion.



"AI and technological innovation are changing not only industries but also the way we work and the nature of jobs," Lee said. "I hope these lectures will help young people understand the direction of global industrial change and broaden their perspectives as they prepare for the future."
