Expert networks in Korea

Korean expert networks support investors and strategy professionals doing research in and out of Korea. South Korea is the world's 13th largest economy, and home to massive corporations and international market leaders with professional management practices. Consequently, there's a continuous need for expert insights, both from domestic and international firms.

Eight expert networks have offices in South Korea, serving both domestic and international market research. The first homegrown Korean expert network, Nathan Research Group, started in 2013.

With Inex One, you can access the best Korean expert networks and B2B survey providers in one platform. Avoid cross-border contracting, or getting lost in translation. Join more than 6,000 users on Inex One - see Inex One reviews here.
