KOISRA recently signed a Channel Partners Agreement with Born2Global Center, a South Korean government startup support agency.
The agreement was signed at KOISRA's branch office in Tel Aviv by Eyal Victor Mamou, KOISRA’s CEO, and Jongkap Kim, Born2Global’s CEO.
Under the agreement, KOISRA, as an approved Channel Partner, will provide business development and consulting services to selected Korean ICT startups interested in entering the Israeli market.
Born2Global was founded in 2013 under the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) as a government support agency for Korean startups. Each year, Born2Global selects over 100 Korean innovative tech startups seeking to expand and scale up in the global market by working with approved Channel Partners like KOISRA in their desired markets.
Israel is one of the supported markets. Although Israel may not be a large market for scaling up, it is considered one of the top startup ecosystems in the world, second only to Silicon Valley. The State of Israel, also known as the Startup Nation, is home to over 450 international companies that have established their R&D centers in Israel due to access to skilled manpower and disruptive innovations.
Korean startups seeking assistance in the Israeli market will be able to receive a variety of subsidized services from KOISRA, including technological collaborations, technology scouting, market research and analysis, prospects identification, meeting setups, translation and localization, local company registration, employee recruitment, and more.
KOISRA was founded in 2009 in South Korea as a business consulting firm that assists foreign companies entering the Korean market, as well as Korean companies seeking to expand into the global market. KOISRA has extensive experience working with SMEs and startups. In 2014, KOISRA’s CEO co-founded KOISRA Seed Partners, the first Korean-Israeli startup accelerator, and invested in over 15 Korean startups. In 2019, KOISRA was appointed by the Small & Medium Business Corporation, another Korean governmental agency, as a Global Business Partner to support the export and overseas investment initiatives of Korean small and medium-sized companies.
