KOTRA to Hold 'K-Service Digital' Consultation Event Until the 9th of Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] KOTRA is currently conducting the ‘K-Service Digital’ consultation event. A total of 200 domestic companies from the edutech, content, franchise, and medical service sectors and 230 overseas buyers are participating to explore business opportunities. The consultation, which started on the 17th, will be held online until the 9th of next month.

On the 25th, KOTRA announced that it held an ‘Online Corporate Briefing for Overseas Service Expansion’ alongside the event to enhance overseas buyers’ understanding of domestic companies’ services. On the 17th, edutech companies participated, and on the 19th, franchise companies demonstrated their services and conducted real-time Q&A sessions with overseas buyers.

Additionally, English materials detailing the services of our participating companies were prepared and sent to overseas buyers in advance. The materials include the preferred overseas expansion and collaboration methods that domestic companies hope for in exporting their services, which is expected to lead to in-depth consultations.

Meanwhile, besides business consultations, KOTRA surveyed regional industry trends of interest to domestic companies through overseas trade centers. In place of our companies, which have found business trips difficult due to COVID-19, buyer interviews were conducted, providing on-site industry trends with a realistic perspective.

Kim Sangmuk, Head of KOTRA’s Innovation Growth Division, stated, “Through innovative services, our companies can turn the COVID-19 crisis into an opportunity,” and added, “We will spare no support to ensure that the excellent technology and creative ideas of K-Services can create new markets overseas.”
