Duluth, GA – The World Korean Business Convention (WKBC) 2025 is proud to announce its upcoming event, scheduled for April 17–20, 2025, at the state-of-the-art Gas South Convention Center in Duluth, Georgia. As one of the most anticipated global business conventions of the year, WKBC 2025 will serve as a premier platform for fostering meaningful connections between Korea’s top innovators and businesses across the United States and beyond.
This biennial event, held in different countries every two years, provides a unique opportunity for U.S.-based businesses to engage with Korea’s most dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) without traveling abroad. With over 400 elite Korean exhibitors, 10,000+ attendees, and leaders from industries worldwide, WKBC 2025 promises to deliver unparalleled access to cutting-edge products, services, and technologies while driving economic growth through collaboration.
A Unique Opportunity to Foster Bilateral Trade
The primary objective of WKBC 2025 is to encourage bilateral trade by bridging the gap between U.S. buyers, investors, and economic development organizations and Korea’s top innovators. As Sunny Park, Honorary Chair at WKBC, emphasized:
“This is a rare opportunity to discover and invest in just one day. It would otherwise take two weeks and $10,000 to travel to Korea to search for new products and partners. With over 15,000 smart entrepreneurs from across the globe attending, businesses from Georgia and the Southeast should seize this chance to gain a competitive edge and unlock new opportunities.”
By connecting buyers and sellers under one roof, WKBC 2025 eliminates barriers to international trade, making it easier than ever for U.S. businesses to explore partnerships with Korea’s best SMEs.
Key highlights of the event include:
- B2B/B2G Matchmaking Sessions: Tailored 1:1 meetings designed to align buyers and vendors for mutually beneficial outcomes.
- Leaders of Top Korean Conglomerates as Buyers: Executives from Samsung, LG, Hyundai, SK , and other leading conglomerates have confirmed their attendance as potential buyers, signaling their commitment to exploring partnerships with U.S. businesses.
