A leading driver and strong advocate for European Businesses in Korea
All European Network Night 2025 in Busan
On May 22 2025, at the Ballroom & Terrace (4F) of Signiel Busan, the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK) successfully hosted the All European Network Night 2025 in Busan.
Around 60 guests joined this delightful evening gathering.
Held annually, AENN is designed to foster friendship and connection among the European community in Korea. In addition to the annual AENN held in Seoul, the ECCK Busan also organizes a separate event each year, reflecting the growing importance of the European business network in the region. Open to ECCK members, partners, and even non-member companies, the event serves as a key networking platform.
The event began under the guidance of our MC, Andrew Millard, ECCK Busan Chapter representative. In her congratulatory remarks, National Assembly Member So Hee Kim, who played a key role in the passage of the Offshore Wind Power Promotion Act in 2024, expressed her continued interest in renewable energy—particularly offshore wind power, an area of special focus for ECCK Busan. The legislation she sponsored has contributed significantly to advancing related business opportunities in the region. She highlighted Busan’s growing potential as a hub for green energy and expressed her hopes for the continued growth of the European business community in the area. Her speech was followed by Sue Ahn, CEO of RMHC Korea, the event’s charity partner, who shared meaningful insights on the needs of the children supported by the Ronald McDonald House.
The event was co-hosted by five European organizations: the British Chamber of Commerce in Korea, the Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Norwegian Business Association Korea (NBA),the Kiwi Chamber, and the Dutch Business Council Korea. Special thanks go to our sponsor, Busan Foreign School, whose generous support helped make this event possible.
Guests enjoyed a European-style buffet and the ocean-view terrace, with beer sponsored by Gorilla Brewing and a selection of fine wines. The energy reached a high point with a Europe-themed quiz, which sparked engagement and excitement among participants. A Best Dressed Prize was awarded to the attendee who best embodied the dress code: “A Touch of Peach.” The evening continued with a raffle and charity auction, featuring generous prizes sponsored by Synovve, BJFEZ, DNV, NBA, The Kiwi Chamber, Westin Josun Busan, Signiel Busan, WeWork, Park Hyatt Busan, and Paradise Hotel. Door gifts, sponsored by Playus, were presented to all guests.
In his closing remarks, ECCK President Stefan Ernst expressed his sincere gratitude to all attendees and sponsors and shared his hopes for an even greater European presence in Busan moving forward.
Once again, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to this memorable afternoon.
