GMEP 2025

Project Brief:

The Global Market Expansion Programme (GMEP) is a multi-country market access programme supporting Korean agri-food tech startups in expanding beyond their domestic market. The programme is co-organised by Innovate 360 in partnership with the Korean government, including the Korea Agriculture Technology Promotion Agency (KOAT) and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED).
