Daehan Sang Sang will participate in the 23rd World Korean Business Congress (WKBC). The event will be held from April 17-20 at the Gass South Convention Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

The Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) recently announced on April 13 that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Federation of Korean American Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the United States. The MOU includes cooperation on the World Korean Chamber of Commerce, successful hosting of APEC 2025, support for Korean businesses in the U.S., joint response to policy changes in Trump’s second term, and networking among Korean and U.S. businesses and economic organizations.

“The Korean American network in the U.S. is an important foundation for expanding communication with the government and Congress and creating opportunities for bilateral economic cooperation,” said Lee Sung-woo, head of the International Trade Division of Korea International Trade Association (KITA). ”We expect this MOU to serve as a foundation for jointly responding to changes in the trade environment during Trump’s second term.”

This year’s convention will be held in Atlanta in April, organized by the Korean Overseas Korean Affairs Office, the Korea Economic Daily-MBN, and the General Federation of Korean American Chambers of Commerce and Industry. The organizing committee is led by Sang-il Noh, senior vice president of the Federation of Korean American Chambers of Commerce and Industry. Mr. Noh served as the head of the 21st Congress in Anaheim, California, last year.

“We will make the WKBC a place for networking between SMEs and startups that want to expand into the U.S. and U.S. companies,” said Noh, adding, ”We will prepare various programs such as seminars on U.S. government procurement business.”

Georgia is home to about 150 Korean companies, including SK Battery America, Hyundai Motor Company, and Q CELLS. Korean companies have invested $23.6 billion in Georgia over the past decade and are expected to invest more than $10 billion in the state in the coming years.
