Korea builds memory chips, batteries, ships and networks for the world, and it turned its culture into a global export. Tech for Impact: Korea asks what that capacity can do for climate, health, ageing societies and regional economies.
Tech for Impact holds its flagship summit in Tokyo in May 2027 and its European edition in Munich that September. Korea follows in October 2027.

At Tech for Impact Summit 2026, Jaejoon Song, founder of Crit Ventures, explained how Korea turned culture into an export business. Mobile distribution, recommendation systems, streaming and webtoon platforms did the work underneath.
“Korea found a new rail to run on. Those rails were built with technology.”
