Biennial Event Connects 400+ Korean SMEs with 12,000+ Participants to Drive Bilateral Trade and Innovation
The World Korean Business Convention (WKBC) 2025 is set to take place April 17–20, 2025, at the Gas South Convention Center in Duluth, Georgia. As one of the most anticipated global business events of the year, WKBC 2025 will serve as a premier platform for fostering meaningful connections between Korea’s top innovators and businesses across the United States and beyond.
This biennial event, held in a different country every two years, provides U.S.-based businesses with a unique opportunity to engage with Korea’s most dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) without traveling abroad. Featuring over 400 elite Korean exhibitors and more than 10,000 attendees, WKBC 2025 will deliver unparalleled access to cutting-edge products, services, and technologies, driving economic growth through collaboration.
Strengthening Bilateral Trade and Investment
WKBC 2025 aims to bridge the gap between U.S. buyers, investors, and economic development organizations with Korea’s top innovators.
“This is a rare opportunity to discover and invest in new businesses in just one day—an effort that would otherwise take two weeks and cost $10,000 to travel to Korea,” said Sunny Park, Honorary Chair of WKBC. “With over 15,000 smart entrepreneurs attending from across the globe, businesses from Georgia and the Southeast should seize this chance to gain a competitive edge and unlock new opportunities.”
By bringing buyers and sellers together under one roof, WKBC 2025 removes barriers to international trade, making it easier than ever for U.S. businesses to explore partnerships with Korea’s leading SMEs.
