The Global Sumflex featured four distinct tracks, including presentations, panel discussions, business lounges for deal-making, and a Korea Experience Center. This two-day event mirrored the World Economic Forum on a micro scale, tailored specifically for the nutraceutical industry. It brought together investors, industry CEOs, government officials from various countries, and distributors to deliberate on global nutraceutical standardization and the promotion of responsible nutraceuticals. Major participation came from Japan, South Korea, the US, and Europe.
