South Korea and Taiwan, strong and growing Asian economies, are highly attractive export markets for U.S. companies. Over the past several decades, South Korea has achieved a remarkably high level of economic growth and is now the United States’ sixth largest goods trading partner with a trillion-dollar economy. The United States is Taiwan’s third largest trading partner, accounting for more than 10 percent of its total trade. Florida companies are invited to join the mission and participate in the Gold Key program. This program offers an excellent way to meet with potential business partners and build relationship in both markets.

EFI will offer a limited number of Gold Key Matchmaking, one-on-one appointments. The price of this service is $2,600, which includes a $500 fee for interpreter services in Korea. Small and mid-sized Florida manufacturers and professional service providers may qualify for a Gold Key Grant, which will offset the matchmaking registration fee of $2,100 for the first company representative. A separate application process will be required for this grant. Participants will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.

A Delegate package is offered being for $800. The package will include admission to all mission events and ground transportation to all mission events. The Delegate package does not include any one-on-one appointments. This option encourages delegates to schedule their own individual appointments and activities during their free time.
