Kim Na-rai, managing director of Intralink Korea, says U.K.-Korea business ties are moving into deeper cooperation in advanced technologies. She said the two countries’ complementary strengths can create new opportunities as Korean firms seek overseas technologies and British firms try to convert early talks into commercial deals.
