[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] The government is promoting the 'Standardization Support Match Up Project,' which connects international standard experts with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies in the field of innovative growth on a one-to-one basis.

The National Institute of Technology and Standards under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 19th that it will publicly recruit 20 retired experts to be in charge of the Standardization Support Match Up Project and appoint them as 'International Standard Consultants.'

International Standard Consultants will be selected from retired experts with experience in international standardization activities, and applications will be accepted through the Korea Standards Association website until the 27th.

The Standardization Support Match Up Project is part of the 'International Standardization Preemption Strategy for the 4th Industrial Revolution Era' established last year and is designed to provide customized support for the international standardization of SMEs and mid-sized companies.

The government plans to discover SMEs and mid-sized companies with excellent technologies in the 10 major innovative growth fields of the 4th Industrial Revolution and connect them with International Standard Consultants so that they can actively participate and receive support throughout the entire process of proposing international standards.

The 10 major innovative growth fields include autonomous and electric vehicles, energy, intelligent robots, smart manufacturing, bio-health, drones and marine structures, smart cities and homes, non-memory semiconductors, displays, and smart farms.

Through this project, it is expected that the international standardization of excellent technologies registered in the National Technology Bank (NTB) and core technologies held by Advanced Technology Centers (ATC) will be revitalized.

Lee Seung-woo, Director of the National Institute of Technology and Standards, said, "By utilizing the rich standardization experience and global human network possessed by International Standard Consultants, the international standardization capabilities of SMEs and mid-sized companies will be further strengthened."
