Incheon Dialogue

About

An invitation-only annual forum, convened by VisionSeek in Incheon.

It brings together the people who take technology decisions in Korea and the Arab world, to speak plainly about transferring and localizing critical capabilities.

The seven foundational technologies: semiconductors, artificial intelligence, cloud and data, next-generation networks 5G-6G, robotics, clean energy and batteries, and health biotechnology.

Why

The technologies that will shape the next decade are not bought. They are built and localized.

Korea did this in a generation. The Arab world has the ambition and the means to lead.

The Incheon Dialogue is where both sides sit down to decide how that happens.

Format

Select, by invitation

Attendance is by invitation only, so the conversation can be real.

Frank

Sessions follow the Chatham House Rule: use what was said, without naming who said it.

Neutral

No selling, no product pitches. The point is the decision.

Recurring

It is held each year, and the Arab Technology Capability Index is announced there.

Who attends

Those responsible for technology in Arab government bodies; chief executives and technology leaders in Arab institutions; leaders of Korean companies and agencies; and researchers whose word carries weight in the seven technologies.

What comes out

A discussion paper before the dialogue, a summary after it, and clear partnership priorities between the two sides.
