Central and Eastern Europe Center

In recent years, value-driven economic blocs have become more pronounced, particularly among developed countries.  The European Union is accelerating its ESG policies to stabilize supply chains, boost competitiveness in high-tech industries, and protect the environment at the regional level. Korean companies are actively expanding their investments to strengthen their foothold in the European market. In this context, Central and Eastern Europe, with its relatively high economic growth, skilled labor force, and access to the EU single market, is emerging as a promising market with the potential to provide new growth opportunities for Korean businesses. Additionally, the region will be playing an increasingly strategic role in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, further enhancing its importance for future investments.
