BuildGreen – Korea project helps Central Baltic sustainable construction SMEs enter one of Asia’s most advanced and innovation-driven building markets. Although companies from Estonia, Finland, and Latvia already have strong expertise in sustainable and industrialised construction, entering distant markets like Korea remains challenging due to unfamiliar business environments, fragmented market approaches, and limited international visibility. Instead of one-off promotional activities, the project aims to build long-term business opportunities and create a trust-based market entry corridor between the Central Baltic region and Korea.
BuildGreen Korea will support 60 SMEs in strengthening their export readiness for the Korean market through market analysis, trainings, and international networking activities. At least 30 companies will participate in joint development activities to create Korea-adapted market approaches, communication tools, and export solutions, while 9 companies are expected to achieve new sales and business contracts. By connecting companies, industry organisations, and Korean stakeholders, the project will establish long-term cross-border business networks and increase the international visibility and competitiveness.
