Invest KOREA (IK), Korea's national investment promotion agency, was established as part of the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) to support the entry and establishment of foreign businesses in Korea. We’re comprised of IK, the Investment Consulting Center (ICC) and the Office of the Foreign Investment Ombudsman (OFIO). We provide free comprehensive services for foreign businesses, providing everything you from the pre-investment to post-investment stage. At the pre-investment stage, we give potential investors information on things like FDI incentives and Korea’s promising industries. Experts at the ICC provide one-on-one consultations on taxation, accounting and law, among others. IK also works closely with its network of 36 overseas investment-focused offices to help investors and companies come to Korea.
At the investment stage, IK helps investors select business sites, find business partners and provide administrative support to help them get started. And to make sure that investors are doing well in Korea, the OFIO resolves any grievances facing foreign companies by working closely with the government. Thanks to efforts of the OFIO, many investors have been able to call Korea their new home. If you’re looking to do business in one of the most dynamic countries in the world, contact any one of our overseas offices. We’ll be there to support you every step of the way.
