Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Launches 'Online Platform' for Purchasing Social Economy Enterprise Products

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan District of Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) has launched an online platform on the district administrative network where public officials can purchase products from social economy enterprises.

According to Gwangsan District on the 24th, the newly opened online platform was established with the purpose of supporting social economy enterprises struggling due to limited sales networks and weak promotional capabilities.

Gwangsan District expects that the online platform will contribute to securing stable sales channels for social economy enterprises through priority purchases by public officials.

The online platform hosts social economy enterprises from various industries producing office supplies, food, tools, and more.

When district employees purchase products here, the purchases will be reflected as priority purchase achievements by department.

Gwangsan District also plans to support new social economy enterprises entering the platform by assisting with product image photography and creating product description texts.

A Gwangsan District official said, “We will support many social economy enterprises facing difficulties due to COVID-19 to join the platform,” and added, “Together with Value Kiwoom Social Cooperative, which is leading the Gwangju social economy distribution platform, we will lead a culture of coexistence so that more public institutions can use social economy enterprise products.”
