The Chambers of Commerce of Fukuoka City and Busan, South Korea, have agreed to launch business conferences over the Internet in March. The conferences are designed to strengthen ties between the two groups as part of their efforts to create a supra-regional economic sphere. The South Koreans suggested the idea as a way to save time by eliminating mismatches during face-to-face meetings between companies offering products that customers don’t need or want. The two groups will use the provisionally named Cyber Business Talk system developed by the Busan Chamber of Commerce for the conferences.
