According to Yonhap News,

The Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Resources and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) announced on October 17th that they hosted a "Korea-Japan Investment Briefing" at the Okura Hotel in Tokyo.

This briefing was held to attract investment from Japanese companies in the advanced industrial materials, components, and equipment sectors. It is the second large-scale investor relations (IR) activity this year, following the investment briefing held in France last month.

The briefing was attended by 150 representatives from over 100 companies, including Tokyo Electron (TEL), Mitsui Chemicals, and Tokyo Ohka Kogyo (TOK). They explored trends in Korea's advanced industries and the investment environment for foreign investments in Korea.

Additionally, the briefing shared ways to enhance technology cooperation between Korea and Japan in advanced industries, as well as successful case studies, and discussed investment cooperation plans.

Notably, TEL, a global semiconductor equipment company from Japan, presented a successful case of its investment in Korea, where it has been closely collaborating with major Korean semiconductor anchor companies since entering the country in 2006, drawing significant interest.

Yoo Beop-min, Director General for Investment Policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Resources, stated, "By combining Japan's technological prowess in materials, components, and equipment with Korea's advanced manufacturing capabilities, we can achieve both global supply chain stability and innovation in advanced industries. We will continue to strengthen incentives such as cash grants for foreign investment and work to resolve regulatory challenges."
