Eighteen companies carry a rank in the PremiumPartnerProgram for 2026, in three ranks the chamber publishes and prices separately: Platinum, Plus and Partner. They are shown here in their published ranks and their published order, because a rank is what the fee buys. The five marks in their site footer are not sponsors and are not shown as any: those are the German federal economics ministry, DIHK, IHK, the AHK network and Germany Trade & Invest, the institutions a chamber of German foreign trade promotion belongs to.

05 / The directory

Who is in it

The chamber publishes no public list of its members. Its own membership page names the Membership Directory as a benefit of joining, giving members access to the contact details of all AHK Korea members, so the list exists and is deliberately private. Nothing is reproduced here, because there is nothing published to reproduce.

As a member of AHK Korea, you will become part of a large network with around 400 corporate and 100 associate/individual/honorary members.
