Background Information

The European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) is a distinguished association of European companies operating in or related to Korea. By registering with the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy (MOTIE), the ECCK was officially founded as a non-profit, non-political organization on December 3, 2012.

Established with the blessings of the EU Delegation and the European business community in Korea, the ECCK’s primary objective is to provide its members with information, communication, and access pertaining to the business and regulatory environment of Korea. While European companies form the largest membership base of the or­ganization, the ECCK welcomes companies of all nationalities to join and to share the membership benefits.

Entrusted with the member’s mandate, the Board of Directors presides over the organization. The Advisory Board embodies representatives of national chambers and embassies, providing general guidance and advice. The Secretariat functions to execute the Chamber’s day-to-day activities and operations.

The ECCK aims to promote a fair and open business environment by facilitating dialogue between European corporations and the Korean government all the while operating for the benefit of Korean society.

You can contact the ECCK directly via their social media (LinkedIn and Facebook) or website. As the Belgian Korean Business Forum also represents the interests of the Belgian community in South Korea during official meetings, you can also contact us for additional information.
