KOTRA came into being as the Korea Trade Promotion Corporation, a non-profit governmental organization established June 21st 1962 to pursue the national policy goals of maintaining the trade balance and building a self-rdliant economy.
For almost four decades, KOTRA has contributed to the development of the Korean economy through various trade promotion activities, such as trade information, market research services and business matchmaking.
With its long-term experience and expertise, KOTRA stands fully ready to serve and assist all interested parties worldwide to do business with Korea.
In August 1995, KOTRA added cross-border investment promotion and support for technological and industrial cooperation projects to its mandate, assuming its present name of the “Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency.”
The Korea Investment Service Center (KISC) was established within KOTRA July 1st 1998 as the country’s sole authorized investment promotion organization, vested with the function of providing foreign investors with one-stop service intended to cover everything from investment plan consultation to settlement support.
Since the economic crisis of 1997, the Korean government has been pursuing a strategy of encouraging exports and inducing foreign investment in the belief such a two-fold approach is the only way to return the country to prosperity and sustainable growth. KOTAR is committed to playing a key role in the implementation of this policy.
In order to execute its mandate more efficiently, KOTRA has built an extensive worldwide network of overseas Korea Trade Centers (KTC). 98 KTCs operate in 72 countries as of Oct 2002.
In preparation for the e-business enviroment, the agency launched interactive Internet portal sites, Cyber KISC and Silkroad 21, in 1999 and 2000 respectively. These sites will play a key role in creating new business opportunities with Korea on cyber space. |
