An Interview with Soyeon Kim, Representative of NRW.Global Business Korea

With a population of 18 million and accounting for 20% of Germany’s GDP, the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW) has the highest economic output in Germany, making it an exciting place for startups. Located here is NRW.Global Business, a German government agency that provides focused support to Korean companies.

NRW.Global Business attracts companies from around the world to NRW and supports NRW-based companies in expanding globally. It has representatives in about 10 countries, including Japan, the US, and China. The Korea office was established in 1988 and has since helped numerous companies enter Germany. We met with Soyeon Kim, who has led the NRW.Global Business Korea office since 2011, connecting Korean and German businesses for over a decade, to discuss NRW’s support policies for startups.
