In the first session, export leaders that have spent years developing overseas markets, companies that have recently begun expanding abroad, and cooperatives pursuing overseas expansion will share their success stories and experiences of entering foreign markets.


The forum will also introduce examples of ongoing exchanges and cooperation between the concrete industries in Korea and Japan, and discuss support needed from the government and the Korea Federation of SMEs to help companies expand overseas.



The second session will look back on the Baekdu Forum's achievements over the past 16 years. Now in its 17th edition, the Baekdu Forum was first held in 2010 in Yanji, China, with 25 attendees, including SME businesspeople and academic experts. Since then, it has expanded to locations including Vietnam, the UAE and Japan, establishing itself as a flagship global exchange and cooperation platform of the Korea Federation of SMEs.
