Seoul and Zurich are holding an eight-day festival in Seoul from Sept. 28 through Oct.5 to share their know-how on how to play a leading role in setting a global trend.

During the festival, participants of the two cities will hold workshops on the blockchain, artificial intelligence, and augmented realities.l

The festival became possible after Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon signed a sister city agreement with Zurich when he visited Switzerland last October.
