Seoul's flagship startup festival, run by the city at DDP every September, and the week the Korean ecosystem opens itself to foreign founders. Two days of startup IR pitching, pre-booked 1:1 meetups with Korean VCs and corporate venture arms, an exhibition floor of Korean AI, robotics and healthcare teams, and a global conference track. The 2026 edition runs under an AI theme, so the physical-AI and agent crowd will be out in force. Free with pre-registration, which makes it the cheapest way to read the Korean market from the inside.
