Next-Generation Global Startup & Trade School

Overview

The Next-Generation Global Startup & Trade School is a specialized program designed to train and nurture young overseas Koreans as future trade leaders. This initiative aims to cultivate a new generation of Korean entrepreneurs who will play a key role in expanding Korea’s exports and strengthening global business networks.

​

With globalization accelerating, this program provides in-depth knowledge of international trade, the Korean economy, and local markets to young Korean professionals from 1.5 to 4th-generation overseas Koreans. By fostering next-generation economic leaders, the program enhances opportunities for Korean products in the global market while leveraging the expertise and networks of overseas Korean business professionals.

This program serves as a strategic gateway for Korean businesses to enter international markets and establishes a strong foundation for future global business leaders.

 

Next-Generation Trade School for Future Leaders

World-OKTA is committed to strengthening the Next-Generation Trade School by building a global alumni network for graduates of both local trade schools and Korea-visit trade schools.
