Invest KOREA is the Korean national investment promotion agency (IPA), established with the sole purpose of facilitating the entry and successful establishment of foreign business into Korea. Nor does our involvement halt there, since our agency delivers an extensive post-establishment service designed to promote the rapid settlement of foreign corporates in Korea and ensure they maximize the benefits of the Korean investment environment to the fullest extent.

 

The scope of our activities on behalf of foreign business ranges from business consultation, market research and partner searches to accessing grants, administrative processing and resolving difficulties with government and mediating in labor disputes.

Invest KOREA is dedicating to providing the kind of comprehensive, seamless, one-stop service that allows foreign investors to put roots in Korea and join the thousands of others who are operating successfully and profitably here.

 

Invest KOREA is the new name of the Korea Investment Service Center (Invest Korea), which was established in 1998 as part of a radical liberalization of the Korea investment regime under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act of the same year. Major recent revisions to the Act empower Invest KOREA to act as far a more efficient, practical and integrated investor service. 

 

The head office in Seoul, Invest KOREA operates a network of 36 overseas branch offices located across five continents in the major financial and decision-making centers of the world. Truly, we may say we are on the doorstep of the globe’s major investors wherever they might be to act as their proxies in locating in Korea offer a superlative service to ensure that their investment plans are executed to the letter without hindrance or delay.
