"Support for Export in Korean Content Sector" ... 'SPP 2020' Online Event Held Until Next Month 14

[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The 'International Content Market SPP (SEOUL PROMOTION PLAN) 2020,' promoted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Business Agency (SBA, CEO Jang Young-seung) to revitalize the overseas expansion of the domestic content industry, will be held online until the 14th of next month.

Marking its 20th anniversary this year, SPP 2020 is the largest specialized market for animation, webtoons, and games in Korea, serving to connect domestic content companies with overseas buyers and support content exports.

So far, 317 buyers and 258 sellers from 32 countries worldwide, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Russia, as well as the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, have registered to participate. Major buyers such as Walt Disney (Singapore), Lion Forge Animation (USA), Alibaba Group (China), Viacom China (China), ABS-CBN (Philippines), Aardman (UK), and CLS Media (Russia) are participating in large numbers to hold business consultations with domestic content companies.

Since the online pre-matching began on the 6th of this month, over 1,000 business consultations have already been connected, and consultations are being conducted sequentially through an online video conferencing program. Professional moderators are involved in the online consultations, and for companies that find it difficult to conduct video meetings from individual offices, offline consultation booths are also operated at 'Seoul Partners House' in Hannam-dong, Seoul.

Any content producers, distributors, or investors wishing to participate can apply for consultations free of charge on the SPP 2020 website.

Park Bo-kyung, head of the SBA Seoul Animation Center, said, "Through the largest online business consultation meeting in the domestic content field based on the SPP business matching platform, we will actively support domestic content companies to open new overseas expansion channels and achieve continuous results."
