Trade Mission to Korea
Trade Mission to Korea
Korea is among the top economies in the world and has become a reliable consumer of Iowa products. The US has enjoyed the benefits of a free trade agreement since 2007 which has added to our competitive advantage there. In fact, Korea is now Iowa’s 9th largest export market and Iowa’s share has grown by more than 15 percent, per year, during the last 2 years. When you join this trade mission you will receive private, one-on-one meetings with prospective customers and partners with the goal of developing sales channels in this dynamic market. IEDA’s in-country representatives make it an easy and efficient business development trip including fast-track meetings with pre-qualified prospects. This trade mission is open to Iowa manufacturers and service companies from all sectors. Reserve your spot now by contacting [email protected], 515.348.6244.
