The Asia‑Pacific Conference of German Business (APK) 2026) is the leading biennial business conference for German companies in the Asia‑Pacific region. Since its establishment in 1986, the APK has brought together high‑level representatives from politics and business from Germany and across Asia to foster dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and further develop economic cooperation.
The 19th edition of the APK will take place from 29 to 31 October 2026 in Seoul, South Korea, at the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas. The conference will focus on high‑level discussions around key future‑oriented topics such as geopolitics, innovation, and sustainable economic growth in the Asia‑Pacific region.
The APK is jointly organized by the Asia‑Pacific Committee of German Business (APA), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), and the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad. It is aimed at senior decision‑makers from business, politics, and institutions and provides a unique platform to discuss strategic, forward‑looking decisions, generate new momentum, and actively shape German‑Asian economic relations.
