Dear Colleagues and Friends,

Welcome to the International Symposium on Linear Drives for Industry Applications (LDIA) 2025, scheduled to be held on May 18-21, 2025, in Daejeon, Republic of Korea.

We are excited to gather experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to discuss cutting-edge developments and future directions in our field. Whether you are focused on fundamental research, industrial implementation, or exploring the latest trends, LDIA 2025 provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with the latest advancements and connect with fellow professionals who share a passion for excellence in linear drive technology.

The coming symposium is particularly special as we gather in Daejeon, the heart of South Korea’s science and technology innovation. Known as the "Silicon Valley of Korea," Daejeon is a vibrant city that combines cutting-edge research with a rich cultural heritage. Hosting us is the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC), a premier venue designed for international conferences, exhibitions, and events. With its modern architecture, advanced facilities, and strategic location near EXPO Science Park, the DCC provides the perfect setting for LDIA 2025.

LDIA 2025 will feature invited talks as well as oral and poster presentations regarding diverse aspects of linear drive technology and its application across various industries.

As we begin this journey together, I encourage you to take full advantage of the knowledge-sharing, networking, and collaborative opportunities available. Your participation and contributions are what make this symposium a truly dynamic and influential event.

Once again, welcome to LDIA 2025 and to the wonderful city of Daejeon. We are confident that this gathering will not only deepen your understanding of the field but also spark new ideas and partnerships that will drive the industry forward.

We look forward to an inspiring and productive symposium with you all.

Thank you
