The expo, an upgraded version of the overseas IR events that listed companies have held so far, will be the biggest business expo of its kind ever held in Korea. The intended goals of the expo are:
- to attract investment and stabilize stock prices;
- to provide maximum information on IR, technology, and products so that listed companies can be fairly evaluated; and
- to provide marketing opportunities for participating companies through product presentations and demonstrations.
The expo will ultimately be expanded into the ‘Asia IR Tour’, which the KRX is currently organizing in conjunction with other key exchanges in Northeast Asia. The proposed event is expected to play a leading role in increasing the international demand base for Asia’s capital markets.
