[To be held in Seoul in October through a hybrid online/offline format]

DESIGN KOREA, a leading design exhibition/convention event in Korea, will be held in Seoul from October 6-10. Under the theme of Design-driven Innovation: Carbon Zero, we will focus on environmental issues that have become important worldwide. Various exhibitions and seminars/talks on how design can contribute to achieving carbon neutrality will be held. Networking and business match-up events where companies, start-ups, and designers can interact with each other are also planned. In addition, there will be a job fair to help young designers find work.

Arranged in a way that combines online and offline events, DESIGN KOREA 2021 will provide an opportunity for design communities in Korea and around the world to gather together.
