For foreign founders, this is more than a passive exhibition to browse new technologies. It is a B2B marketplace and networking opportunity where you can showcase your product, meet potential buyers and enterprise partners, and explore opportunities in Korea and other markets. Around 40 global buyers from 15 countries, including Japan and Singapore, as well as major Korean corporations and public institutions, are expected to take part in customised 1:1 business meetings. If you are ready to introduce your product to the market, this is an opportunity to put your technology in front of potential customers while building a better understanding of the ecosystem you are entering.
