SEOUL, October 22 (AJP) - South Korea will set up an exhibition booth highlighting its industrial achievements and future growth sectors for the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, or KOTRA, said Wednesday that it will operate the “K-Business Square” in collaboration with the provincial government of North Gyeongsang and the city of Gyeongju for five weeks. The exhibition is designed to welcome visiting delegations and investors ahead of the summit.
The venue features four themed sections — a Korean industrial history hall, a future industries hall, a regional business hall, and five cultural experience spaces. The future industries section focuses on semiconductors, next-generation mobility, and shipbuilding, with participation from both major corporations and startups showcasing cutting-edge technologies.
KOTRA said it intends to use the exhibition as a platform for economic diplomacy, inviting about 100 overseas buyers and global investors to explore opportunities in South Korea’s advanced manufacturing sectors.
To bolster economic cooperation ahead of the summit, KOTRA has been expanding its outreach to international partners through the “Korea-APEC Business Partnership,” launched in September. More than 300 domestic and foreign business leaders have joined related events, including an investment forum held on Oct. 16.
The upcoming Invest KOREA Summit, scheduled for Oct. 29 to 31, will aim to attract large-scale investments in strategic industries such as energy transition, advanced materials, and digital technology.
“This exhibition is an ideal opportunity to present South Korea as a leader in advanced manufacturing to visiting diplomats and business leaders,” said Kang Kyung-sung, president of KOTRA. “We are committed to enhancing the national brand and strengthening international business cooperation through the APEC platform.”
