Thai startups eye South Korean market – ambassador

Thailand is actively boosting cooperation with South Korea, with the Thai Embassy in Seoul serving as a bridge to help Thai startups enter the Korean market and encourage Korean startups to expand into Thailand.
Entering the highly competitive South Korean market requires foreign startups to prove their products solve 'Korean problems' more effectively than existing solutions, emphasizing evidence over just good ideas.
The initiative fosters a two-way strategy, preparing Thai startups for the demanding Korean market while also inviting mature Korean startups to Thailand for proof-of-concept testing and potential expansion.
Some Thai entrepreneurs, like GMS, view South Korea more as a source for strategic partners to expand within Thailand rather than a direct market for their businesses, leveraging Korean expertise for local growth.
