Wednesday 22 November 09.00-12.00: EU-Korea Business Forum
This Business Forum aims build on the momentum generated by the ASEM and EU-Korea Summits on 18-19 October. It will further promote business exchanges between Europe and South Korea by exploring the investment environment in Korea. This will involve a consideration of a range of sectors combined with an assessment of the country’s approach to intellectual property rights.
In addition to the opening remarks by Ambassador Hyoung-zhin Kim and ECCK President Christoph Heider, the forum will include three presentations looking at Korea’s investment conditions from different perspectives, followed by a moderated panel discussion. The forum’s audience will be primarily composed of European and Korean business groups. There will be ample opportunity for networking.
