Targeting Fortune & Forbes Buyers: Why It Matters
BoomUp Korea 2025 is designed to attract procurement leaders and executives from global corporations listed in the Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000. This premium buyer strategy is not aimed at general exhibition traffic, but at decision-makers with real purchasing authority.
By combining KOTRA's overseas trade office network with the APEC CEO Summit platform, the program gives Korean SMEs and mid-sized companies direct access to consultation opportunities with major international buyers that are difficult to secure through conventional trade fairs alone.

Preparation Guide for Participating Companies
Direct consultations with companies from the Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 are rarely available through ordinary trade events. The premium buyer targeting program at BoomUp Korea 2025 combines KOTRA's overseas network, the branding effect of the APEC CEO Summit, and a structured matchmaking system into a high-value business development channel. Korean firms seeking entry into global corporate supply chains should approach this program as a strategic opportunity rather than a routine exhibition.
