EU Gateway to Europe – Korea

March 13th 2017 – March 17th 2017

EU Gateway │Business Avenues is an initiative funded by the European Union. Building on over 25 years of successful experience, it helps European companies to establish long-lasting business collaborations in Asia.

The new programme launched in 2016 will offer business missions to Korea, South East Asia and China.

Each business mission accommodates up to 50 European companies.

EU Gateway │Business Avenues will organise up to 44 business missions between 2016 and 2020. Selected European companies will get the opportunity to participate in a one-week business mission focused on a specific sector:
• Green Energy Technologies
• Environment & Water Technologies
• Healthcare & Medical Technologies
• Construction & Building Technologies
• Information & Communication Technologies
• Contemporary European Design
• Food & Beverages (Organic only in Korea)

• Sound out business opportunities in promising markets
