KOTRA and MOTIE dispatch an ICT delegation

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and KOTRA organized the 2025 Korea ICT Roadshow in the Middle East on February 20th and 21st to support the entry of Korean ICT companies into the Middle East on the occasion of the signing of the Korea-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) in May 2024. It is expected to be a significant occasion for strengthening ICT and innovation industry cooperation between the two countries. Middle Eastern countries are prioritizing digital transformation and the adoption of advanced future technologies as national top priorities to move away from an economy reliant on the oil industry. In particular, Dubai aims to become a global innovation hub by unveiling an AI blueprint, appointing Chief AI Officers in various government agencies, and promoting the establishment of the world's largest AI and technology company hub, known as the 'AI and Web3 Incubator.' The roadshow was the first of its kind in the Middle East, featuring 26 Korean companies with innovative technologies in the following areas: smart cities, cybersecurity, robotics, autonomous driving, AI solutions and services. A total of 16 MOUs were signed.
