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 our trainings on business, finance, law, economic policy, and related fields are hosted by professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. We believe 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. 

We also help policymakers, researchers and international media understand North Korea’s business and economic environment through on-the-ground research. We combine non-confidential discussions, interviews with sector leaders, and frequent visits to give us deeper insights into the country.
