ECCK Participates in the Busan Global Gathering 2017
The ECCK participated in the annual Busan Global Gathering held at the Samnak Riverside Sports Park on May 20. At the Global Gathering, the visitors were able to enjoy and learn about various cultures from 200 global promotion booths that were available at the event. As part of the promotion, the ECCK Busan Chapter prepared booths with original German sausages and Spanish wines to share with the visitors.
Furthermore, the ECCK IPR Committee operated a booth dedicated to enhancing consumer awareness about the benefits of intellectual property and the dangers of counterfeit products as a part of the participation in the Global Gathering. This IPR campaign was conducted by displaying various counterfeit products and explaining the impact of the counterfeit industry. The visitors were able to learn how the counterfeit industry negatively impacts all layers of society, endangering consumers due to the products’ poor quality, causing job losses and stifling innovation. Additionally, ECCK conducted a survey to measure consumers’ perception of counterfeit products and will produce a report on such shortly.
Mr Jong-cheol Lee, Deputy-Secretary General & Head of Eurasia Cooperation Center of the Busan Foundation for International Cooperation, who organized the Global Gathering, avowed: “The Global Gathering is an annual event to support expatriates and their families, and for Busan citizens to experience global cultures as well as to strengthen the relationship between Busan and its sister cities. The atmosphere here is global and dynamic and our 20,000 to 3,000 visitors can enjoy various traditional performances and cuisines from all around the world. When we hosted this event for the first time, we started with 50 booths, this year we quadrupled the amount. This is the main reason for choosing the Samnak Riverside Sports Park this year and we are proud of this development.”
