The strategy meeting is an annual event where PwC experts discuss collaboration measures to support Korean companies' expansion into global markets and enhance their competitiveness. This year, more than 50 participants attended, including experts from PwC member firms across 19 countries—such as the United States, China, Japan, Germany, India, and Australia—as well as Samil PwC's overseas secondees. In addition, a seminar was held where local experts from overseas shared insights on global issues such as industrial restructuring, supply chains, and tariffs.

On the first day of the strategy meeting, Steven Kang, Vice President of Samil PwC and leader of the Asia-Pacific and Americas Client & Industry group, led sessions on trends in the Korean market and U.S. tariff policies. Brian Burt, Partner and U.S. Transfer Pricing & Customs Services Leader at PwC, presented on how changes in U.S. tariff policies affect Korean companies' export strategies, offering both short-term and mid- to long-term response measures.

Panel discussions were also held on core topics, including major industries such as defense, automotive, and semiconductors, as well as overseas investments by Korean companies.

On the afternoon of the second day, a "Global Finance & Tax Seminar" was held for Korean companies. PwC experts from key countries—including the United States, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Hungary—who attended the workshop shared the latest trends in finance, tax, and regulations.

Vice President Kang, who oversaw the event, stated, "This workshop focused on helping Korean companies secure actionable strategies by linking practical insights from local experts in each country regarding complex risks such as tariffs, supply chains, and regulatory changes. Samil PwC aims to be a strategic partner that goes beyond simply providing information to enable our clients to make swift decisions and lead global change by offering execution-oriented solutions."

Meanwhile, since 1974, Samil PwC has been dispatching experts to PwC member firms in major overseas countries to support the global business of Korean companies. The "Korea Business Network," composed of former and current overseas secondees, currently offers one-stop advisory services throughout all stages of overseas expansion for Korean companies.
