This presentation provided an overview of Korea’s lessons learned in 50 years of defense trade. It included an explanation of Korea’s Defense Agency Hierarchy not commonly understood, as well as Korea’s transition from offset to industrial cooperation. We explained challenges and opportunities related to industrial cooperation and considerations for industrial cooperation policies beyond offsets.
