Russell heads east to Korea this November to participate in a range of conferences, and exhibitions and most importantly to spend time with some of the most exciting, scaling Korean Tech companies. He travels as part of the Department for International Trade (DIT) Global Entrepreneur Programme to promote the UK (and in particular Scotland) as the perfect base for any Korean entrepreneur looking to accelerate their company's growth in the West.
While in Korea, Russell will be splitting his time between Seoul and Jeju, "the island of innovation". A highlight of the visit is sure to be attending the COMEUP (컴업) Global StartUp Conference and Russell is delighted to announce that he will be taking to the stage alongside his DIT colleagues.
"Today I faced the challenge each Scotsman must make when packing for an international trip, should I pack the kilt, sporran, ghillie brogues, prince charlie jacket, and skene-dhu? The additional weight must be considered but I felt as chair of Scottish Business Network I had only one choice available - the tartan is packed!" - Russell Dalgleish
