AustCham Korea and its member companies have been formally invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to participate in the upcoming APEC 2025 Korea Public-Private Dialogue: Demographic Response & AI Cooperation, scheduled to take place in Songdo, Incheon on August 11–12.

The dialogue will be held alongside the 3rd APEC Senior Officials’ Meeting (SOM) and will convene senior delegates, business leaders, and academic experts from across all 21 APEC member economies.

This year’s APEC agenda, as announced by the Korean government, focuses on two critical priorities: responding to demographic change and advancing cooperation on artificial intelligence (AI). The upcoming dialogue will offer participants the opportunity to gain insights into these themes while fostering meaningful connections between public and private sector leaders across the region.

Australian companies interested in attending are encouraged to register via the QR code provided in the official invitation. Participants may choose to attend either Day 1 (Demographic Response), Day 2 (AI Cooperation), or both. Each company may register up to four representatives, and early registration is recommended as spaces may fill before the July 31 deadline.

For more details, please refer to the attached invitation letter and event card. AustCham Korea is pleased to support this regional initiative and looks forward to the active participation of its members in this meaningful dialogue.
