KOSME operates Korea Startup Centers in the U.S. (Seattle), France (Paris), Singapore, Vietnam (Hanoi), and Japan (Tokyo), providing comprehensive support to Korean startups venturing into foreign markets. 


GSP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the economic development of the Seattle metropolitan area in Washington State, boasting a membership that includes 32 global companies, local governments, financial institutions, investment firms, and universities.  


The event comprised two sessions. In the first session, KOSME and GSP unveiled their collaboration in identifying and nurturing promising SME(Small and Medium-sized Enterprise) in the green business sector. The second session featured introductions of promising Korean startups and facilitated networking sessions to support their international expansion. During this time, we had the opportunity to showcase our company.
