Indiana opens South Korea office to attract foreign investments into state's energy, electric vehicle sector

A South Korea office has been opened in Indiana to attract foreign investments into the state's energy, as well as the semiconductor and electric vehicle sectors.

Indiana has opened an office in South Korea to attract foreign investment to the state's energy, electric vehicle and semiconductor sectors, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation said Tuesday.

"Indiana’s new Seoul office underscores the importance of the state’s deepening relationships with Korean companies and their increased interest in a dynamic Hoosier workforce and economy," Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers said in a prepared statement.

The office opened July 1, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported.
