KOTRA-AMCHAM holds
first "Business+ Forum" to support expats working in S. Korea
Min Suk-hyen, Arirang News - Under the theme "2022
Guidelines for Foreign Businesses in Korea" the first "Business-Plus
Forum" kicked off on Thursday featuring sessions aimed at helping foreign
companies, international organizations and embassies in Korea better understand
the country's latest economic and industrial trends.
"In Korea, there are a lot of foreigners and
foreign companies. While they have more opportunities to understand Korean
culture, they don't have that much of an opportunity to get accurate information
about the country's economy or industry. That's why we decided to hold the
forum to provide information about Korea's economy and help people broaden
their networks between other foreign chambers."
Thursday's event focused on sharing insights into South
Korea's economy under the incoming Yoon Suk-yeol administration, its economic
initiatives, challenges that may lie ahead as well as potential business
opportunities. The Business-Plus Forum will now be held every
month with different foreign chambers taking turns to co-host the forum. Taking the wheel in April will be the Norwegian
chamber of commerce and the British chamber in May.
"Next month's theme is going to be Korea's
transition into renewable energy and what lays (ahead for) business
opportunities there… and also how the Korean laws, rules, and regulations kind
of support this transition."
The forum follows an MOU signed between KOTRA and
eighteen foreign chambers of commerce in Korea, promising to cooperate and hold
business sessions for fellow expats in the country.
"Going forward, KOTRA says it will continue
to support foreign chambers of commerce, by not only providing them with such
lectures, but also by connecting them with relevant South Korean ministries."
