Korea Eureka Day is an event that aims to expand the international technology cooperation network between Korea and Europe and to identify international joint research partners and collaborative projects between global academia and industry.
To this end, Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology have been organizing Korea Eureka Day every year since 2010, after joining Eureka in 2009. In 2023, the event will be held in Korea for the first time in eight years, inviting several European and non-European countries to Seoul.

The Programme is divided into 4 big sessions:
