IRIDA joins the EU Business Hub green technology mission to South Korea
IRIDA AI Technologies was one of 39 European SMEs and start-ups selected for Green and Low-Carbon Technologies Korea 2025, a business mission to Seoul organised by the EU Business Hub from 9 to 13 June 2025.
The EU Business Hub is an EU-funded programme that helps European companies enter the Japanese and South Korean markets. IRIDA took part in the environmental monitoring, analysis and assessment equipment group.
IRIDA was represented by COO George Diakomanolis, CTO Chris Diakomanolis and General Manager Aristos Oikonomou. On 11 and 12 June, they held one-to-one business meetings with Korean companies and organisations at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas. On 13 June, the mission visited ENVEX 2025, Korea's international environmental technology exhibition.
South Korea is building one of the largest offshore wind programmes in Asia, and its permits require strong protection for migratory birds and seabirds. The mission let IRIDA present Bird Protect™ Offshore and its wider wildlife protection portfolio to Korean developers, research institutes and public bodies.
The mission strengthened IRIDA's network in one of the fastest-growing offshore wind markets in Asia.
We thank the EU Business Hub team for selecting IRIDA and for an excellent programme.
