Korea-ASEAN Digital Content Business Roadshow first held in Hanoi

The first Roadshow held by the Republic of Korea (RoK) Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) and the Korea Economic Daily at Lotte Hotel aims to create practical support and establish network for businesses from both sides and expand digital content exchange between the two countries.

Twenty Korean businesses participating in the event included broadcasting stations, Telecommunication enterprises, Mobile content and Convergent content (3D·Hologram·VR·AR) enterprises.

At the show, a MSIP representative presented the development trend of the content industry and suggested fields that businesses from the two countries can collaborate such as games, animation, film and content.

Meanwhile, Pham Anh Tuan, Deputy General Director of VNPT-Vinaphone, said 50.05 million out of 94.93 million Vietnamese people use the Internet (around 53% of population). With high Internet and mobile phone users, Vietnam is a potential market for foreign investors, especially Korean businesses.  

Participants also discussed cooperation strategy in digital content and compared notes on potential collaboration fields such as animation, mobile education, broadcasting, computer graphic and film.
