[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency announced on the 28th that they will hold the 'K-Content Online Export Consultation' with the Korea International Trade Association on June 30 to help content companies struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) expand overseas.
This event targets companies in the genres of games, comics, characters, and immersive content. Content companies can conduct business meetings with key overseas buyers in the form of online video consultations at the 'Startup Branch' in COEX, Seoul.
Overseas buyers will mainly come from Asian regions such as China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The overseas business centers of the Korea Creative Content Agency located in Beijing, Shenzhen, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam will invite key local buyers who will meet domestic content companies online and arrange matching with participating companies. Participating companies will receive support not only for matching with buyers but also for online consultation infrastructure, interpretation, and other assistance to facilitate smooth online business meetings.
Any content company such as producers and distributors wishing to expand overseas in the relevant genres can apply. Applications can be submitted through the Korea Creative Content Agency's own content export marketing platform 'Wellcon' by noon on June 1.
Kim Young-jun, president of the Korea Creative Content Agency, said, "We have prepared an online export consultation inviting key overseas buyers to reopen the export routes blocked by COVID-19," adding, "Starting with this event, we plan to gradually promote the online transition of overseas expansion support projects to turn the crisis caused by COVID-19 into an opportunity."
