A short drive from Seoul can change everything you thought you knew about Korea. A Made in Germany label may hold more Korean innovation than you'd expect. And the best business idea at the 19th Asia-Pacific Conference of German Business 2026 (APK 2026) might not come from the stage at all.

 

In this APK special episode of the KGCCI Champion Interview Series, H.E. Georg Schmidt, German Ambassador to South Korea, shares his take on Korea, the Korean-German partnership, and where to look for what comes next.
