The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) announced on August 20 that it is hosting the 'Korea-China Robot Week' in Beijing, in collaboration with the Global Innovation Center (KIC China), a nonprofit organization. The event will run until August 21.
KIC China operates under a global cooperation program from the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea. Twelve domestic robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) companies with proprietary component and control software technologies are participating, engaging in exhibitions, technical presentations, one-on-one consultations, networking events, and industry tours.
The event is linked to the 'World Robot Conference (WRC),' which will continue until August 23. Korean companies are seizing opportunities to establish practical sales channels by connecting with numerous overseas buyers.
The event has attracted significant interest from local buyers, featuring companies recognized for their outstanding technology, including those awarded at this year's CES Innovation Awards and global research institutions. Participants reported gaining confidence in expanding overseas and understanding specific buyer requirements as key achievements.
During the program, participating companies showcased their technologies to over 80 Chinese robotics firms and investment institutions. In addition to 72 pre-arranged consultations, additional on-site meetings facilitated discussions on purchasing, joint development, and investment opportunities.
Under the 'K-Team' collaboration framework between KOTRA and KIC China, support was provided in a one-stop manner, from recruiting companies to arranging one-on-one consultations and networking.
Jang Sang-hae, head of KOTRA's China Regional Headquarters, stated, "It is important to directly observe the rapidly growing Chinese robotics market. I hope that domestic companies will use this participation as an opportunity to grasp market trends and enhance their competitiveness."
