The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency announced on August 4 that the '2026 Korea-ASEAN K-Content Business Week,' held from July 28 to 30 in Jakarta, Indonesia, was a success.
Thirty-two domestic content companies participated, conducting export consultations with 97 major buyers from four ASEAN countries—Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia—as well as Australia. A total of 706 consultations were held, resulting in $60 million in potential deals (approximately 86 billion won) and 19 memorandums of understanding (MOUs) signed.
During the event, Irene Umar, Deputy Minister of the Indonesian Ministry of Creative Economy, participated in a content intellectual property (IP) business forum. A panel discussion with local OTT platforms, brands, and licensing companies addressed strategies for entering the local market and expanding private sector collaboration.
The Korea Creative Content Agency aims to continue supporting domestic content companies in solidifying various collaboration opportunities, including export consultations, licensing, co-production, and investment with major buyers in ASEAN and Australia.
