The MoU was signed by eGA strategy, business process re-engineering and enterprise partnership director Nezar Maroof and Kotra vice-president Jong Kyung Kim.
Under the accord, the eGA will co-ordinate with Kotra to exchange expertise and visits as well as keep abreast of latest trends of ICT and eGovernment services.
The Korean agency will also co-ordinate with the eGA to devise the optimum IT solutions offered by leading Korean companies by means of arranging business trips.
In turn, eGA will update Kotra on latest developments in ICT, eServices and process re-engineering projects, tenders and investment opportunities.
This is to take place through the creation of a database that will provide accurate information for local and potential investors.
Meanwhile, Kotra will contact companies and investors in South Korea to showcase the opportunities available in the kingdom.
eGA chief executive Mohammed Al Qaed said the signing of the agreement reflects one of the key objectives of the National eGovernment Strategy 2016, which seeks to increase partnerships with the private sector as well as raising ICT readiness by adopting two annual initiatives through global partnerships.
Based on this memorandum, a steering committee will be formed to discuss channels of co-operation and co-ordination between the two parties as well as set a strategy to promote joint co-operation and maintain continuous communication between both countries in the ICT sector.
