Gyeonggi-do to Recruit Companies for April 'World Representatives Conference and Korean Products Expo' Participation

Gyeonggi Province is recruiting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the province to participate in the "26th World Representatives Conference and 2025 Korea Product Expo," which will be held from April 29 to 30 at the Andong International Convention Center in Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

On the 20th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will accept applications from domestic small and medium-sized manufacturing companies with export amounts of less than 20 million dollars last year to participate in the product expo until the 31st of this month.

This expo is a large-scale business event that exchanges with Korean entrepreneurs worldwide. It is hosted by the World-OKTA (World Federation of Overseas Korean Traders Associations, President Park Jong-beom), Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Andong City, and is supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, KOTRA, and the Ministry of Overseas Koreans Affairs.

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

The event will be attended by about 1,000 overseas Korean entrepreneurs and foreign buyers from 70 countries around the world. Domestically, 250 organizations including local governments such as Gyeonggi Province, government agencies, and private companies will participate to exhibit various products.

Gyeonggi Province will set up a booth at the expo to actively play the role of an export breakwater amid an uncertain global trade environment, such as the spread of protectionist measures in various countries. It is expected to be a good opportunity for SMEs in the province to enter the global market by directly interacting with Korean buyers from around the world.

Gyeonggi Province supports participating companies with 70% of the booth participation fee, interpretation support services, export consultations with overseas buyers, and signing of memorandums of understanding (MOUs). In addition, to maximize the results of participating in the expo, a systematic exhibition marketing program including pre-exhibition marketing education and post-performance management will be promoted.

Park Kyung-seo, Director of the International Trade Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "This expo will be a good opportunity for Gyeonggi Province’s SMEs to use the Korean economic network worldwide as a stepping stone to enter the global market amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment such as the spread of the global trade war."
