The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) will be holding the 2021 Next Content Fair to open up business opportunities for the local content industry.
The event will be held for three days from Thursday through Saturday at BEXCO, located in Busan's Haeundae District. It will also be streamed online through the agency's official YouTube channel.
"Our agency will be seeking to present the competitiveness of our quality local content and offer business opportunities through this year's Next Content Fair," KOCCA President Cho Hyeon-rae said in a statement, Tuesday.
"We are striving to strategically develop the content industry through promoting interactions and helping to build a bridge between the local content businesses and related organizations."
This year's fair will invite a total of 154 companies from about 16 regions across the country to participate in various programs including exhibitions, business-matching, overseas consulting programs, investment relation demo day and business-to-consumer (B2C)-related programs. A total of 240 booths will be on display at the venue.
The exhibition will include a screening of the animation "Comi and Bebe," co-produced by local broadcaster EBS and U.S. publisher Lion Forge Comics and a display of extended reality (XR) artwork using Metaverse technology.
There also will be a performance by comedian Yoon Hyeong-bin, a music concert by local indie musicians and a talk show, inviting writer Kim Bo-tong of the Netflix series "D.P."
