AHK Korea (Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry) — together with Saint Clair and the Korea International Trade Association (KITA) — brings executives from German companies in front of Korean companies preparing to enter Europe. They'll answer one direct question: What has disqualified a Korean company from working with you?

 

👥 Who Should Join

Korean startups and SMEs selling into Europe, working with European partners, or approaching European investors — especially whoever handles Europe: export sales, quality assurance, or certification and regulatory affairs.

 

🎙️ What to Expect

Carl Härtlein of Saint Clair opens the session and moderates a panel of experts from leading German corporates around one critical question:

“What has disqualified a Korean company from working with you?”

 

Hear candid insights into what German corporates look for in potential partners, what raises red flags, and what can ultimately stand in the way of a business relationship. Afterward, participants can put their own company’s situation directly to the speakers.
