EU Busi­ness Hub @ KIMES 2027 busi­ness mis­sion  to Seoul

The EU Busi­ness Hub @ KIMES 2027 busi­ness mis­sion pro­vides par­tic­i­pants with the oppor­tu­ni­ty to explore advance­ments in med­ical tech­nol­o­gy, includ­ing areas like telemed­i­cine, AI in health­care, and regen­er­a­tive med­i­cine, while stay­ing informed on the lat­est indus­try trends.

It is arranged as part of the EU Busi­ness Hub – Japan and the Repub­lic of Korea, a EU — fund­ed pro­gramme that helps EU com­pa­nies active in the green and low-car­bon tech­nolo­gies, dig­i­tal solu­tions, and health­care and med­ical equip­ment sec­tors to enter the two Asian mar­kets by organ­is­ing busi­ness mis­sions to Japan and to the Repub­lic of Korea between 2024 and 2027.
