The Korean-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce is organizing an exhibition, titled ``German World 2008, High Tech ― Lifestyle ― Science Fair" at COEX in Seoul from May 29 to June 1.
The Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry will receive guests and friends at German World 2008 at COEX.
The first exhibition took place in 1999 and the second in 2001 under the name of ``The Leistungsschau." It was renamed to ``German World" in 2003 and the exhibition has since attracted wide attention in Korea.
On this occasion of the high-tech, lifestyle and science fair on German products, German Wine Queen Evelyn Schmidt will visit Seoul May 30-31. The 24-year-old is the second Wine Queen from Germany's wine-growing region Sachsen (Saxony) to hold the national title.
Schmidt comes to Korea, one of the most rapidly growing wine markets in the world, to represent German wines and winegrowers. Her excellent knowledge about wine (sensorics, marketing, regional and varietal specialties), her sense of humor and quick-wittedness make her an interesting conversationalist.
The fair is an excellent opportunity for German companies to present their products and services to the Korean public.
The event will again be held at COEX, one of the world's state-of-the-art exhibition halls. Located in Seoul's major business district, the hall offers ideal conditions for hosting the fair.
The fair does not only function as an exhibition for products and services ``Made in Germany." It also features various seminars on diverse topics and offers special events for visitors as well as exhibitors such as a press conference and an official opening ceremony, which includes ribbon cutting.
German companies and institutions will be able to shape a positive image of Germany in Korea.
