With South Korea emerging as a key investment partner for Tamil Nadu, the state’s investment facilitation agency has launched a dedicated Korea Desk to support Korean companies.
Guidance Tamil Nadu announced on Wednesday that Korean companies looking to explore, invest, or expand in Tamil Nadu can connect directly with their new Korea Desk.
Jaewon Chang has been appointed as the Guidance Representative for the desk, and will serve as the primary point of contact for Korean companies and institutions for seamless coordination with government departments and industry stakeholders.
“From investment to execution, we bring speed, structure, and trust. Tamil Nadu is not just a market, it is a partner that engineers growth,” Guidance TN said.
“We have laid a strong direct bridge for investments from Chennai to Seoul. Happy to announce that Guidance Tamil Nadu has established a dedicated ‘Korea Desk’ to deepen economic and investment ties between Tamil Nadu and the Republic of Korea,” State Industries Minister TRB Rajaa said in a social media post. “This will give us a structured, on-ground presence to support Korean companies exploring manufacturing, expansion and partnerships in our State,” he added.
Korean companies hold a strong presence across Tamil Nadu’s automobiles and EVs, electronics, renewable energy, heavy engineering, shipbuilding, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing sectors. The minister noted that the Korea Desk will function as a single-window facilitation platform across the entire investment lifecycle.
“From market intelligence and sectoral insights to site identification, policy guidance, regulatory approvals and post-investment expansion support,” he said.
