The ASEAN-Korea Startup Innovation Week, an annual event dedicated to fostering connections between startups from Korea and the 10 ASEAN countries, is marking its seventh year. Originally launched in 2018, this year’s event also celebrates the 35th anniversary of ASEAN-Korea dialogue relations and the 15th anniversary of the ASEAN-Korea Centre.

“This year, in commemoration of these significant milestones, we have enriched the event under the name ASEAN-Korea Startup Innovation Week,” Kim Jae-shin, secretary general of the ASEAN-Korea Centre, said at an event in Seoul on Oct. 22.

In his address, Kim highlighted the need to strengthen ASEAN+3 collaboration in the areas of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and startups, facilitating their access and capacity to use digital technologies.
