KOTRA-Invest KOREA** cordially invites you to a luncheon program to learn about why the major multinational companies are focusing on Korea in this fast-paced and competitive global economy. Caterpillar and other global companies will share their experiences and strategic reasons for choosing Korea, how they succeeded and are continuing to look for new opportunities in Korea.

With the Korean government recently announcing the low carbon, green growth initiative as the
nation’s new development strategy as well as committing to invest over USD 111 billion to create 58 new green technologies and 1 million jobs by the year 2012, many new opportunities exist.
