ICNX 2026, the content business event hosted by Incheon Metropolitan City (인천광역시) and Incheon Technopark (인천테크노파크), is inviting content companies to sign up for one-on-one business meetings with investors and industry buyers. The event runs Nov. 3–4 in Exhibition Halls A and B at Songdo Convensia (송도컨벤시아) in Incheon.
The B2B program pairs content companies with Korean venture capital firms and accelerators, broadcasters and public agencies for private meetings on fundraising, content distribution and business partnerships. It is open to companies that own content or IP, as well as production and technology firms.
KC Ventures, CJ Investment among investors; KBS and KOCCA also at the table
Participating investors include KC Ventures (케이씨벤처스), TAP Angel Partners (탭엔젤파트너스), Pentastone Investment (펜타스톤인베스트먼트), Union Investment Partners (유니온투자파트너스), CJ Investment (씨제이인베스트먼트), Draper X Ventures (드레이퍼엑스벤처스) and Welcome Ventures (웰컴벤처스). Public broadcaster KBS (한국방송공사), the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA, 한국콘텐츠진흥원) and the Incheon IP Center (인천지식재산센터) will also take meetings.
TAP Angel Partners is an accelerator founded in Incheon's Yeonsu district in 2018. Draper X Ventures, a Korean firm that draws on Silicon Valley investor Tim Draper's global network, stepped up its activity this year. "Our top priority is finding good startups in Korea and sending them global," co-CEO Lee Se-yong (이세용) told Asia Business Daily on Sept. 30.
