The American Chamber of Commerce in Korea (AMCHAM) has launched a new program to support Korean companies entering the U.S. market, expanding its role in U.S.-Korea economic cooperation.
AMCHAM announced on July 13 that it will introduce the 'K-Doorknock' program for Korean companies during the annual Washington Doorknock event, taking place from July 13 to 16 in Washington, D.C.
K-Doorknock is designed to facilitate direct meetings between Korean companies looking to expand their business and investments in the U.S. and key figures in the U.S. government, Congress, and industry. This initiative marks a shift in AMCHAM's focus from supporting U.S. investments in Korea to assisting Korean companies in their U.S. ventures.
The delegation includes AMCHAM Chairman and CEO James Kim, along with representatives from companies such as Dunamu, Han River Asset Management, HKI America, Hyundai Motor Group, LG Group, and SoluM. Existing participants in the Washington Doorknock, including Bayer, Corning, Kim & Chang Law Firm, Novelis, and Pfizer, will also be involved.
During their visit, the delegation plans to meet with officials from the White House, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), the Department of Commerce, the State Department, the National Security Council (NSC), and members of Congress to discuss investment expansion, regulatory cooperation, supply chains, and collaboration in advanced industries. Meetings with representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and major think tanks are also scheduled.
As Korean companies increase their investments in the U.S., the role of private economic organizations in supporting local policy changes and regulatory responses is becoming increasingly important.
AMCHAM aims to use K-Doorknock as a platform for two-way economic cooperation, supporting both U.S. investments in Korea and the expansion of Korean businesses in the U.S. This year's Washington Doorknock is part of AMCHAM's 'Freedom 250' campaign, commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence, and the organization plans to release key meeting outcomes and follow-up cooperation plans after the event concludes.
