Health Tech Delegation to Seoul, South Korea
The Confederation of Danish Industry, in collaboration with the Danish Trade Council in Seoul, are excited to welcome you to a webinar introducing the Health Tech sector in South Korea.
The webinar will be a prelude to a Danish delegation 25th to 27th September 2023, accompanying Danish public stakeholders visiting Seoul. In the webinar, the goals of the delegation will be covered, alongside a brief introduction to the sector by local public and private stakeholders.
The webinar will take place on Wednesday, 17 May 2023, 09:00-10:30 CEST.
This delegation’s purpose is to engage Danish companies in the accelerating transformation of the South Korean hospital sector, a transformation in need of innovative solutions. The Korean population is aging, and birth rate falling, leading to public investments in smart hospitals. Concurrently, the delegation is particularly relevant for companies that specialise in solutions for hospitals.
The delegation will accompany Danish members of the Denmark-Korea Hospital Alliance, including Rigshospitalet, Aarhus Universitetshospital and Aalborg Universitetshospital (TBD). Participating companies will attend B2B and B2G meetings with their South Korean counterparts, and participate in networking events, in addition to attending Korea’s 4th Industrial Revolution Festival as a part of the Danish Pavilion.
