Our Story

The Korean Startup Global Advancement Association was founded to address critical gaps in the Korean startup ecosystem. We recognized that while Korean technology companies have tremendous potential, they often face significant barriers when expanding internationally.

These challenges include:

  • Language and cultural barriers
  • Limited international business networks
  • Lack of market knowledge in target countries
  • Difficulty navigating foreign regulations and business practices
  • Limited access to international investors and partners

KSGAA was created to bridge these gaps by leveraging established international networks, proven methodologies, and deep expertise in both Korean business culture and global markets.
