– One-stop close support including English interpretation, factory tours, trade negotiations, and contract review for overseas buyers visiting Korea (Completely Free)
As global buyers continue to flock to the Korean market, known for its excellent technology and trendy products, a customized service that perfectly supports business meetings in Korea is drawing attention.
‘GobizKorea’, an online export platform operated by the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (KOSME), announced that it provides the ‘Visitor Assistance Program (VAP)’ to help overseas buyers visiting Korea communicate smoothly with outstanding domestic SMEs and successfully conclude business contracts.
Establishing business partnerships in a new country is often challenging due to language barriers and differences in trade practices. GobizKorea’s VAP is a solution designed to address these challengesfor global buyers.
By utilizing VAP, a trade expert from GobizKorea personally accompanies overseas buyers to the meeting site when they visit a Korean partner company. On-site, close communication services are provided, including – professional English interpretation support, -accurate introduction of the companies, facilities, and processes (factory tour) between the two parties, and -coordination and support for trade negotiations.
In particular, even after the meeting ends, full support is provided for thorough follow-up management, such as reviewing trade contract details and export agreements to ensure a successful final agreement. Except for the buyer’s travel expenses (airfare, accommodation, etc.), all VAP trade and interpretation support services are provided completely free of charge.
An official from GobizKorea stated, “We hope that buyers from all over the world visiting Korea to source high-quality K-products will not miss out on business opportunities due to language issues or practical trade barriers.” They added, “Through the VAP service, we will do our best to support global buyers in building trust with Korean companies and establishing strong and stable partnerships.”
Global buyers with confirmed itineraries for visiting Korea can request their prospective Korean partner companies to apply for the VAP service on the GobizKorea website at least 14 days before the scheduled meeting date.
