What is Hansang

WHAT IS HANSANG

"Han” (in Korean) means “individuals with Korean origin, regardless of nationality” and “Sang” means “business of all types and kinds”. Globally, Hansang has been recognized as the “World Korean Business Convention” (“Convention”), where Korean entrepreneurs/businesses around the world gather together to form a successful network and broaden their market base. 


The inaugural event in 2002 kicked off with about 968 participants from 28 countries.  Thereafter, the Convention grew each year to become the biggest Korean business convention in the world, averaging approximately 3000 participants from about 60 countries each year. 


For the past 20 years, the Convention has played a pivotal role in lifting small to mid-sized Korean businesses into the global marketplace and bridging interactions between domestic and overseas Korean businesses. 


Through K-pop, K-food, K-drama, and K-movies, the world has already experienced the effects of the creative minds of Korean entrepreneurs.  Hansang will further ride this K-wave in hopes of leaving a lasting mark, here in Orange County and throughout the USA. 

WHO IS BEHIND HANSANG

The Overseas Koreans Foundation (“OKF”), an affiliate of Korean Foreign Ministry has launched Hansang, together with Overseas Koreans Economic Organizations (“OKEO”).   The 21st Hansang, being held in the US for the first time, will also be co-hosted by the Korean American Chamber of Commerce of USA (“KACCUSA”), through its local Orange County affiliate, Korean American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County (“KACCOC”). 

WHEN AND WHERE IS HANSANG

Hansang will be held from October 11, 2023 (Wed) through October 14, 2023 (Sat) at Anaheim Convention Center.

The Convention has been held annually in South Korea since 2002 to 2022. On its 21st year, Hansang will be held outside of Korea for the first time, starting with California, USA. As Hansang ventures outside Korea, it hopes to stamp its impact abroad and facilitate dialogue with non-Korean businesses.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Anyone interested in Korean businesses are welcome!  Those include booth vendors, sponsors, businesses desiring match-making, government entities, nonprofits, and people who just want to observe and/or learn.   It’s unknown when Hansang will be held in Southern California again.  Everyone in the US should take advantage and not miss out.
