KOCCA to Host "2026 SERIES ON BOARD TOKYO," Facilitating Business Matching Between 10 Korean Video Production Companies and Japanese Firms

The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) will host "2026 SERIES ON BOARD TOKYO" from Tuesday, May 19, 2026, to Thursday, May 21, 2026, at KOCCA CKL TOKYO.

The purpose of this event is to facilitate business matching between Korean broadcasting and video production companies and Japanese broadcasters, video production companies, distribution platforms, distribution/sales companies, and investors. It aims to create diverse collaboration opportunities, including co-development, co-production, project investment, remakes, and broadcasting rights sales.

The Digital Content Association of Japan (DCAJ), a general incorporated foundation, will support the matching between participating Korean companies and Japanese companies as the Japan secretariat for this program.

Those wishing to participate are requested to apply via the pre-registration form. Please note that for one-on-one business matching, adjustments will be made by the organizers based on the purpose of participation and areas of interest, so your preferences may not always be met. We appreciate your understanding.
