Future Talent in Motion: AI-Led, Borderless Careers, and Infinite Innovation

This year’s theme, “Future Talent in Motion—AI-Driven | Borderless Careers | Infinite Innovation,” attracted over 330 companies across 450 booths, representing a range of sectors, such as technology, green energy, semiconductors, finance, and manufacturing. Altogether, the companies offered more than 40,000 job opportunities—a 100% increase from last year.

The event highlighted three key trends shaping the future of recruitment:

Trend 1: Focus on Cross-Disciplinary AI Talent

As AI and digital technologies drive industrial transformation, companies are looking for talents who can apply AI in diverse domains—from fashion to healthcare.

Perfect Corp., for example, is actively recruiting in AI development and product innovation, leading the evolution of beauty tech.

Trend 2: Strong Demand for Green Talent

With the rise of ESG, roles related to carbon management and green technology are growing rapidly. Companies increasingly seek individuals equipped for sustainable transformation.

Trend 3: Global Proficiency as an Edge

Multinational corporations like Garmin are enhancing their global talent strategies. They prioritize candidates with an international vision and language fluency to stay competitive amid abrupt global supply chain shifts.
