Wadiz Holds 'Funding Opportunities for Korea' Manifesto Briefing

**Wadiz Opens New Horizons for South Korean Market Entry in Shenzhen: An Opportunity for Global Tech Companies to Enter K-Culture** Wadiz, South Korea's leading crowdfunding platform, organized a significant event in Nanshan, Shenzhen, the heart of China's technological innovation, for local companies aspiring to enter the South Korean market. The 'Funding Briefing for South Korean Market Entry' garnered immense interest, going beyond simple information sharing to present a new pathway for China's innovative technologies to knock on the doors of the K-market. Over 130 promising Chinese companies, primarily from the hardware tech sector, attended the event, expressing a deep desire to enter the South Korean market. Through this briefing, Wadiz went beyond its role as a global crowdfunding platform, presenting a strategic bridgehead for Chinese startups to directly communicate and grow with South Korean consumers. The briefing included an in-depth analysis of the unique characteristics and consumer trends of the South Korean market, and Wadiz's plans for launching global services were also introduced, drawing significant anticipation from local companies. In particular, the sharing of success stories from Chinese companies that achieved remarkable success in the South Korean market using the Wadiz platform as a springboard provided attendees with tangible possibilities for success and great inspiration. At the heart of these success stories was 'Roborock,' a global powerhouse in robot vacuum cleaners. In December 2021, it successfully entered the South Korean market, setting an astonishing record of approximately 310 million won through Wadiz funding. More recently, 'Hover,' which introduced the AI flying camera 'Gimbal Drone,' achieved 200 million won in just one day after funding began, while Shenzhen-based maker 'Laser Pecker' recorded an overwhelming funding success of 1 billion won with its innovative laser engraving product, demonstrating Wadiz's impact. These cases clearly show that Wadiz is more than just a funding channel; it is a testbed and a successful launch platform for innovative Chinese companies entering the South Korean market. To further expand these successful exchanges, Wadiz plans to actively recruit domestic funding operators who will closely collaborate with local Chinese makers and funding agencies in the future. This demonstrates Wadiz's strong commitment to positioning itself as a hub for a 'cross-border' ecosystem that generates synergy between South Korean and Chinese tech companies, going beyond being just a funding platform. Seo Mu-bin, Team Leader of Wadiz Connect Team, emphasized that through this event, he "could confirm how much Chinese companies are focusing on South Korea as a new route for overseas expansion." He further stated Wadiz's ambition: "Wadiz will continue to expand its role as a true cross-border platform, helping global innovative companies reach the world market." Wadiz is now envisioning a new future at the crossroads of global innovative technology, extending beyond Asia and no longer just a domestic funding platform.
