Community Partner: Choson Exchange

Choson Exchange supports entrepreneurs and business-minded individuals in North Korea through workshops, internships, mentorships and scholarships inside and outside of the DPRK. Many of its trainings on business, law, economic policy, and related fields are hosted by professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. Choson Exchange believes that entrepreneurship provides a viable path towards positive change and a healthy civil society in North Korea, as well as a unique opportunity for foreign experts to learn more about a country that remains widely unknown.

Choson Exchange also helps policymakers, researchers and international media understand North Korea's business and economic environment through on-the-ground research. Choson Exchange combines non-confidential discussions, interviews with sector leaders, and frequent visits to give deeper insights into the country.
