A one-day roadshow in Beijing Wednesday sought to attract investors to South Korea's thriving information and communications technology sector, a state-run trade promotion agency said.

   The Korea ICT Roadshow China 2011 will connect some 35 South Korean IT firms with 350 potential Chinese buyers in the hope of fostering business ties and partnerships, according to the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA).

   A business forum on the sideline of the show will give the South Korean technology exporters a opportunity to showcase their technologies and products.

   "China is South Korea's biggest IT market and it attaches more significance to partnership with Korea in line with its open-door policy," said a KOTRA official.

   KOTRA will also hold a roadshow in India in November, following similar presentations in China, Brazil, Japan and the European Union.
