LeaguE Inc. and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) will hold a free online seminar on August 31, 2026, at 14:00. The 60-minute session covers discovering promising Korean products, negotiating with manufacturers, signing exclusive agency contracts, and selling in the Japanese market. It also introduces Korea Biz Week 2026, scheduled for October 21 and 22 at KINTEX.
The seminar is aimed at companies that leave overseas exhibitions with contacts but no contracts. LeaguE CEO Shotaro Takechi will walk through the full pipeline: finding promising products, negotiating with manufacturers, securing exclusive agency rights, and building a Japan-specific sales strategy.
KOTRA's Ayumi Munakata will present Korea Biz Week 2026, the October 21-22 event at KINTEX expected to draw roughly 350 overseas buyers and about 1,500 Korean companies. The webinar also covers using crowdfunding to test demand in the Japanese market before committing to product development.
