From 6–9 May 2025, the Netherlands Embassy in Seoul, in collaboration with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), is organising a trade mission to South Korea focused on the biotech sector. This is a unique opportunity for Dutch biotech companies to explore the South Korean market, attend the international BIO KOREA exhibition, and connect with Korean companies and stakeholders.
Companies can join a curated programme including access to the BIO KOREA trade fair, matchmaking sessions, company visits, and networking events. Eugene Kim, from the Netherlands Embassy in Seoul, is currently working on a strong programme tailored to Dutch biotech interests.
South Korea offers exciting opportunities for companies involved in innovation, drug development, and medical technologies. With growing demand and a well-established biotech infrastructure, it’s a market worth exploring.
There’s already strong interest from the Dutch business community, but a few spots are still available. Want to join and tap into South Korea’s biotech potential?
Check the full programme and register via the RVO website.
