NL-Korea architecture networking event 2021

Welcome

The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Seoul and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) will organize a virtual networking event on 19 October - 22 October 2021.

Through this networking event we will facilitate Dutch and Korean companies active in the field of Architecture & Urban design, in gaining an understanding of local developments, market information and expanding their network with new business contacts. 

During this networking event we offer Dutch participants the opportunity to present their expertise and previous projects to important Korean stakeholders, such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG). SMG will give a presentation on the principles of urban architecture in Seoul, followed by a Q&A session. You can also participate in a networking and pitching session that is attended by members of the Korean Institute of Registered Architects (KIRA). Through this even it is possible for you to establish valuable contacts with relevant South Korean stakeholders.
