During the Korea-Poland Business Forum, the Łukasiewicz Research Network announced the signing of important cooperation agreements with renowned institutions from Korea. The agreements were concluded with representatives of the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI), and Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH), opening up new opportunities for scientific and innovation development in Poland.

The Korea-Poland Economic Forum, which took place at the Westin Hotel, was attended by over 350 representatives from Polish companies and nearly a hundred representatives from the Korean business community, including well-known conglomerates such as LG, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai. The externally organized event, under the patronage of the Polish Agency for Investment and Trade, was an excellent opportunity to establish contacts and initiate cooperation between the two countries.

The Economic Forum was graced by the presence of the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, and the President of South Korea, Yoon Suka Yeol. The arrival of so many Korean companies together with the President of Korea demonstrates the growing interest in the Polish market and its scientific potential.

Under the agreement signed with KETI, cooperation will focus on the areas of photonics, microelectronics, and information technologies. Cooperation with KIAT will involve the exchange of knowledge and personnel between the Łukasiewicz Research Network Institutes and Korean universities, research institutes, and industry. The agreement with KATECH specifically pertains to the development of transport automation technologies. The Aviation Valley Association and the Association of Polish Aviation Industry, to which Łukasiewicz – Institute of Aviation belongs, also concluded a joint agreement with the Korean Aerospace Industry Association.

Cooperation with Korean research and industrial institutions in the field of advanced technologies will play a crucial role in the development and implementation of innovative solutions. Both sides of the agreement will strive to promote institutional exchange, organize conferences, technological seminars, and workshops, as well as conduct research and exchange of knowledge.

The Forum entails more than the speeches by Presidents and bilateral discussions between Polish and Korean company representatives. It also includes panel discussions devoted to Polish Korean cooperation, involving major companies and institutions from both countries. Networking is also ongoing throughout the day to facilitate relationship-building between companies.

The Łukasiewicz Research Network, represented today by President Andrzej Dybczyński, Vice Presidents Remigiusz Kopoczek and Marcin Kraska, and other key representatives, is ready to implement joint projects and intensify cooperation with Korean partners. The future of science and innovation in Poland seems increasingly promising thanks to such agreements and investments.
