To seize the critical window of opportunity for global collaboration in AI, computing power, and the semiconductor industry, and to deepen government-enterprise industrial investment exchanges between China and South Korea, the China-Korea Innovation Industry Forum and Torch Government-Enterprise High-End Investment Delegation, hosted by the Torch High Technology Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in South Korea, and organized by Finwex AI, will be held from September 21-23, 2026, at the Pullman Ambassador Hotel in Seoul. The event brings together senior government leaders, leading technology conglomerates, top tech unicorns, and premier investment institutions from both countries, establishing a high-standard and pragmatic cross-border industrial cooperation platform. A limited quota of 20 exclusive seats for government-enterprise investors is available for the three-day delegation.
High-Level Participation Lineup with In-Depth Government-Enterprise Engagement
This forum and delegation tour has received strong support from government departments on both the Chinese and South Korean sides, with a guest roster that leads the industry in seniority:
1. Chinese Government Representatives: Senior leaders from Shanghai, executives from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and officials from the Chinese Embassy in South Korea will attend in person, witnessing the signing ceremony for bilateral industrial cooperation, establishing a China-Korea joint technology incubator, and outlining policies related to China's open digital technology industrial cooperation and cross-border tech innovation support.
2. South Korean Government and Industry Representatives: The delegation will visit the National Assembly of South Korea and the Ministry of Science and ICT, engaging in face-to-face discussions with South Korean industry regulators. Site visits will be conducted at the headquarters of LG, Hyundai, and NAVER, three major domestic conglomerates, with dedicated talks focused on semiconductor computing power, AI services, and smart manufacturing.
3. Tech Innovation Enterprise Cohort: Ten technology unicorns incubated within the Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University ecosystems will accompany the delegation to Seoul for roadshows. These companies are all in critical stages of preparing for IPOs, showcasing core technologies, implementation plans, and funding needs to South Korean industrial capital and multinational groups.
4. Investment Institution Circle: Sovereign wealth funds, family offices, leading cross-border venture capital firms, and industrial capital have been specifically invited to participate in keynote sessions, closed-door investment dinners, and one-on-one project negotiations throughout the forum.

Event Value and Outlook for Cooperation
Moving beyond the traditional industry exhibition model, this China-Korea Innovation Industry Forum and Delegation Tour leverages government endorsement, direct engagement with industry leaders, and high-quality tech innovation projects as its core pillars, building a long-term bridge for China-Korea tech innovation cooperation. On one hand, it aims to help top unicorns from the Tsinghua and Shanghai Jiao Tong University ecosystems connect with South Korea's mature computing hardware supply chain and overseas capital, accelerating their international expansion and IPO processes. On the other hand, it provides domestic investment institutions and industrial enterprises with access to official South Korean resources and partnership channels with local industry leaders, enabling them to precisely capture cross-border investment opportunities in AI, semiconductors, and the digital economy.
