Twenty-six companies, including investment firms such as venture capital (VC) firms and accelerators (ACs), buyers and related organizations, will participate in the business matching. Twenty consultation booths will be set up to help participating companies attract investment and pursue business partnerships. Seventeen companies will showcase advanced media content in the exhibition and hands-on section.
The opening ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. on the 3rd.
