Direct collaboration between Silicon Valley and Korean entrepreneurs is rare, making this event a unique opportunity for Korean startups to engage with global tech leaders. Attendees will learn about Silicon Valley’s innovation culture and strategies, creating potential for partnerships and market expansion.
