Business & Economics
A premier nonpartisan forum advancing collaboration and deeper economic engagement between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
We convene policymakers, corporate executives, investors, entrepreneurs, academics, and financial leaders — creating trusted platforms for dialogue on the issues shaping the future of the bilateral economic relationship.
The Korea Society's Business & Economics Programs reinforce the Society's role as a premier nonpartisan forum advancing collaboration and deeper economic engagement between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea.
Our four flagship initiatives — the U.S.-ROK New Economic Paradigm, Startup Scene: Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, the Leadership Interview Series, and the Global Financial Leaders Forum — convene policymakers, corporate executives, investors, entrepreneurs, academics, and financial leaders.
Together they create trusted platforms for dialogue on the issues shaping the future of the bilateral economic relationship, balancing timely exchange with deeper examinations of the forces driving both economies.
These convenings generate timely dialogue, strengthen cross-sector partnerships, elevate emerging entrepreneurial talent, and expand professional networks — further advancing economic cooperation and mutual understanding in both countries.
Four flagship initiatives.
Each convenes a distinct community across policy, industry, finance, and entrepreneurship to advance the U.S.-Korea economic relationship.
