[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) announced on the 14th that it jointly held the '2021 Korea-Japan IT Business Consultation Meeting' online on the 13th with the Korea Software Industry Association (KOSA) and the Japan Information Technology Exchange (JIET).

At the event, 21 domestic IT companies specializing in artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud participated along with 16 Japanese distribution and IT companies, conducting a total of 48 one-on-one online consultations. Additionally, a promotional event introducing new technologies, new products, and services of the domestic participating companies was held, facilitating technological exchange between the two countries.

Shin Seung-kwan, Executive Director of KITA, said, "Japan is a promising market with fewer regulations, making it easier for domestic IT companies to enter," adding, "It is also worth considering a strategy of jointly entering third countries through cooperation with Japanese IT companies."

KITA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with JIET in 2018 to promote business exchanges between Korean and Japanese IT companies and support Korean youth employment in Japan. Since 2019, in cooperation with KOSA, they have jointly held annual IT export consultation meetings.
