Join us on 25 September 2025 (09:00 BST / 17:00 KST) as we shine a spotlight on the powerhouse of innovation in Ulsan, Republic of Korea.

Following our exploration of Birmingham's ecosystem, this second webinar in the Innovation Twins series offers our UK audience an invaluable opportunity to connect with one of Korea's leading industrial and technological cities. This session is designed for Birmingham-based companies, investors, and academic institutions keen to understand the opportunities for collaboration and partnership with Ulsan's most promising innovators.

The session will be led by representatives from the Ulsan Creative Economy Innovation Centre (UCCEI), a key driver of the region's start-up ecosystem. They will provide a comprehensive overview of Ulsan's innovation landscape, highlighting its key industrial strengths, strategic direction, and the supportive environment it offers to businesses.

The centrepiece of this event will be the introduction of the Ulsan SMEs shortlisted for a funded (by the Korean Ministry of SMEs and Start ups) delegation to Birmingham Tech Week 2025. You will hear brief, compelling presentations from these cutting-edge companies, gaining first-hand insight into the technologies and solutions they are developing. The webinar will culminate in the official announcement of the final four companies selected for this prestigious opportunity, giving you a first look at the businesses set to make an impact in the UK market.

This is a unique chance to forge early connections, identify potential investment or partnership opportunities, and engage directly with the next wave of Korean innovators before their visit to Birmingham.

Please note: This webinar will be recorded and made available on the Distinctly Birmingham YouTube Channel following the event.
