The Mirae (Future) Culture Foundation is a regional culture institution established in 2008 with the goal of the sustainable use of historic houses and cultural heritage. With its headquarters on the second floor at 226 Solbat-gil, Andong, dedicated staff carry out diverse projects including traditional-house management and lodging operation, cultural-heritage research and planning, tourism-product development, academic and research services, and event, exhibition, and MICE operation. Through historic-house stays linking UNESCO resources such as Hahoe Village and Dosan Seowon with more than 40 historic houses, seowon, and seodang, along with living-culture experience programs and the cultural complex Dalbit Maru, it helps residents and visitors experience traditional culture in daily life. It has also expanded the economic and social value of cultural heritage through the entrusted management of vacant historic houses, research on heritage-based local content, domestic and international cultural exchange and traditional-craft exhibitions, and the production of local festivals and forums.
Recently it has strengthened its PCO (Professional Convention Organizer) capabilities, broadening its scope into the MICE field. It served as the operating secretariat for the international event 2025 One Asia Cosmetics Regulatory Innovation Forum (May 28-30, 2025, COEX, Seoul) hosted by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, successfully carrying out a global conference of about 250 people, and it planned and operated regional and academic forums such as the 2024 Andong MICE Forum: The MICE Industry Responding to Regional Extinction (Nov 19, 2024, Andong Arts Center) and the Forum on Andong City's Creative City and Craft Industry Development Strategy (Dec 27, 2024), solidifying its standing as a comprehensive PCO.
Going forward, it plans to contribute as a key partner in revitalizing the northern-Gyeongbuk MICE industry ecosystem based on its international-conference planning and exhibition and convention operation know-how.
