Korea Innovation Convergence Summit 2025: Bridging Public, Industry, and Technology
Korea’s digital economy is rapidly expanding—not only through SaaS adoption, but through the convergence of technology, public service, and enterprise innovation.
This year’s GSMP U.S. program is presented under the theme:
Korea Innovation Convergence Summit 2025
Bridging Public, Industry, and Technology
More than a startup showcase, this event reflects Korea’s vision of becoming a trusted partner in global digital transformation—connecting its most promising tech innovators with U.S. public-sector, enterprise, and infrastructure stakeholders.
Together, we aim to accelerate collaboration between government, industry, and next-generation software platforms.
About the Event
Join us for a two-day event connecting Korea’s most globally-ready SaaS innovators with U.S. enterprise buyers, system integrators, and public-sector leaders.
This is not a demo day. It’s a government-backed business platform—featuring curated 1:1 matchmaking, high-value networking, and company showcases focused on solving real-world challenges.
Each participating startup has been vetted by Korea’s national innovation agency and is actively seeking U.S. market entry, pilot programs, and long-term partnerships.
Why This Event Matters
Korea’s SaaS sector is one of the fastest-growing in the world—driven by a decade of public digital investment and agile, cloud-native development.
This event brings that momentum to Washington, D.C., introducing scalable solutions in:
AI and enterprise search
Manufacturing & supply chain tech
GovTech and smart infrastructure
Cybersecurity and DevOps
Multilingual content automation
This is a business-first showcase designed to generate outcomes—not just visibility.
