EU Business Hub Korea, 2024
The main programme of Digital Solutions Korea 2024, the ‘Business Exhibition’ allowed participating Korean companies to discover cutting-edge technologies and discuss practical aspects for partnerships and expand business opportunities through 1:1 meetings.
At the ‘Business Networking Reception’ held on the afternoon of 3rd December, companies from 17 EU countries and Korea engaged in business networking conversations, fostering future collaboration in a more informal setting. A Korean participant commented, "It turned out to be a much more dynamic and proactive networking experience than expected. It provided a meaningful opportunity to freely connect with a diverse range of European countries that are usually hard to reach, share key insights on global business expansion and technological innovation, and directly explore the potential for collaboration.”
The EU Business Hub programme also operated a booth at Softwave 2024 at COEX in Seoul from 4th to 6th December. By having a dedicated booth, the team introduced the EU Business Hub programme and provided an opportunity for B2B matchmaking to Softwave 2024 participants. The EU SMEs and start-ups participating in Digital Solutions Korea 2024 visited Softwave 2024 in person, engaging with Korean companies.
"We look forward to the connection established between the EU companies with the local business partners - during this one week business matchmaking and networking event – to continue and to grow into a durable partnership” said Tanith Bello, EU Business Hub Programme Officer at the EU Delegation to the Republic of Korea.
