KOREA-EUROPE 5G SUMMIT 2020

Let's talk about 5G!

About the Summit

As 5G is viewed worldwide as the new technological breakthrough and essential part for the next generation in various fields, there are still barriers set, which need to be crossed.

South Korea established for years the fastest internet worldwide, therefore it's no wonder that they were one of the first countries to launch their 5G network. Starting in April 2019, over 5.8 Mio. are using actively the 5G service. Therefore they can look back on over 1-year experience of a very fast-growing network and customer base.

We as a Korean government agency for economic development (KOTRA) organize this summit to generate a platform for exchanging experiences, technological necessities, and market overview (EU) to develop possible business partnerships.

Our event with exciting industry insider speakers will be held on the 14th and 15th of October 2020. In the following weeks, we'll organize 1 on 1 meeting for interested companies based in the EU and Korean manufacturers.
