Korea's Top Food Trade Show and Exhibition

Why participate？

1. International Food Show
Food Week Korea 2015 is one of the most anticipated international exhibitions in Seoul, with as much as 1/4 of the total exhibitors visiting from overseas. In last year’s edition, out of our 833 exhibitors, we had over 140 representatives from approximately 28 different countries around the globe, featuring over 1,500 booths while welcoming approximately 47,437 visitors from more than 28 countries.

2. Endorsed by Reputable Organizations
Gaining consistent approvals from the UFI (unio des Foires Internationales) since 2013, and hailed as a ‘Promising Exhibition’ by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (formerly known as the Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy) in 2010, Food Week Korea has gained both significant national and international recognition.

3. Valuable Business Opportunities Presented
Food Week Korea provides a business matching program, free of charge for qualified buyers and exhibitors. Many representatives from major food service industries, such as as prominent supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, food services, online/offline distributors, and trading companies, come together in search for high quality food products. In 2014, 337 exhibitors (120 overseas) and 191 qualified buyers with purchasing power participated in the business matching program. In a poll survey, 81% of respondents answered that they were ‘able to meet potential buyers’ during the exhibition and 95% of participants stated that they were ‘satisfied with the meetings’.

4. National Pavilion
Countries hoping to bring multiple exhibitors to Food Week Korea can receive a plethora of benefits, such as hotel and tour arrangements, translation services, special airfare price deductions, etc., by organizing a ‘National Pavilion.’ The more exhibitors from one’s country, the higher the discount! The previous edition saw national pavilions from countries such as Japan, China, India, Italy, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Philippines, Vietnam, and Laos.

5. Buyer Delegation
Buyer groups of 10 or more members from international trade associations or government organizations can attend the Food Week Korea as a part of an official delegation group, and are eligible for benefits such as complimentary hotel nights, translation services and more.

6. Diverse Concurrent Events & Exclusive PR Opportunities
Everything at Food Week Korea is about food! Don’t miss the chance to enjoy exquisite, elegant cooking presentations shows by star chefs, food related conferences, seminars, and more. Special additional concurrent events of Food Week Korea also provide participants with exclusive platforms for further promotion; the ‘Food Week Showcase’ which will display a selection of competing items to visitors for one winning product. Also, the ‘Food Square’ will give participants an opportunity to promote their businesses by holding their own press conferences.
