The Korea Financial Investment Association said on the 7th that a delegation of "Securities NPK (New Portfolio Korea)"—made up of the association and 14 chief executive officers (CEOs) of domestic securities firms—will visit Germany and Luxembourg to explore investment opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI), digital finance, and the space industry.
Staying there from the 6th to the 12th, the delegation will first attend IFA 2026, Europe's largest home appliance and technology exhibition. They plan to review the level of commercialization and market expansion potential of On-device AI, smart homes, Robotics, Digital Healthcare, and next-generation mobility.
In Luxembourg, they will discuss ways to cooperate in financial investment with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Trade Affairs Xavier Bettel. They will also visit the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA), the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC), and satellite communications corporations SES to examine the status of commercialization in the space industry and potential investments.
At a seminar with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and HSBC, they will also review cases of capital market digital transformation, including digital bonds and financial infrastructure based on distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Korea Financial Investment Association Chairman Hwang Seong-yeop said, "I hope this visit will serve as an opportunity to read the flow of global innovation and identify future investment opportunities."
