EIC Global Business Expansion Programme in South Korea

The EIC Global Business Expansion Programme launches its first 2026 business mission for EIC backed startups, scaleups and SME in South Korea. The thematic focus lies on aligning European innovation strengths with South Korea’s industrial demand.

  • Partner meetings

The programme combines parallel coaching and mentoring starting at the end of April with a six-week online academy beginning on 4 May 2026 (with an expected workload of 15–20 hours). The core elements also include the onsite mission week in Seoul (15–20 June 2026). In this way the selected participants will be supported with targeted preparation before engaging directly with one of Asia’s most advanced and commercially driven innovation ecosystems.

The onsite business mission week in Seoul will include participation at NextRise (18–19 June 2026), Korea’s flagship startup and innovation event, co-hosted by the Korea Development Bank (KDB) and the Korea International Trade Association (KITA).
