The "Career Forum 2026 (Forum Emploi 2026)," a leading recruitment and networking event connecting talent and businesses in the Korea-France business community, will take place on the 27th and 29th in Seoul and Busan, respectively. This year’s event is particularly notable as it follows French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Korea last month and marks the first time it will be held in Busan.
Organized by the French Chamber of Commerce in Korea (FKCCI), the event serves as a platform for recruitment, networking, and career development, providing job seekers and experienced professionals seeking new opportunities in Korea with access to French and global companies.
The Seoul event on the 27th will be held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) International Conference Center, featuring participation from various French and major European companies, including Accor Ambassador, Allianz, Capital Recruitment, Danone Group, De'Longhi, the French-Korean Chamber of Commerce (FKCCI), PwC Mazars, Geodis Korea, Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel, IT Concept, Louis Vuitton Korea, Luxury Business Group, Orano Korea, Promosalons, Richemont, Sofitel Ambassador Seoul, Thales Korea, Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel, Veolia Korea, and Yondera by Aptero.
The Busan event on the 29th will take place at the Busan National University Law School, aiming to connect local students and professionals with global companies and provide new opportunities to explore careers within the Korea-France business ecosystem.
This event is supported by key institutions and partners, including the French Embassy in Korea, KCCI, Busan National University, French Alumni Day, and the Korea Chamber of Commerce.
Currently, registration for both events in Seoul and Busan is ongoing. Individuals and companies interested in attending can apply through the FKCCI website. Participants will have the opportunity to meet recruiters directly, explore career opportunities, and engage in industry-specific conferences and practical workshops to enhance their job skills. Participating companies will benefit from attracting top talent, enhancing their visibility and brand image, and building relationships with universities while supporting academic and economic exchanges between the two countries.
This event is receiving significant attention as it follows the recent summit between President Macron and President Lee Jae-myung, where both leaders expressed their commitment to increasing the employment scale of investment companies to 80,000 over the next decade and striving for a new era of human exchange involving 1 million people.
Founded in 1986, FKCCI is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and has been a leading institution in promoting business cooperation between Korea and France, currently boasting over 475 member companies. FKCCI has ranked third in revenue among foreign chambers of commerce in Korea and sixth among French overseas chambers of commerce worldwide for two consecutive years as of 2024, enhancing its presence in Korea.
