[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 15th, Gyeongnam Province announced that two commercial districts in the province were finally selected in the '2020 Small Business Smart Pilot Shopping District Support Project' contest hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.


As an intensive commercial district, Changwon City Seven Shopping District was selected, and as a general commercial district, Changwon Myeongseo Market was selected.


These commercial districts will be supported with smart technologies tailored to the characteristics of each store based on a non-face-to-face ordering and payment system that minimizes contact, as well as the installation of digital signage (outdoor advertising using digital information displays) for commercial district promotion.


The Ministry of SMEs and Startups also selected two preliminary commercial districts that can be supported if additional government budget is secured in this contest: Gimhae Yulha Cafe Street and Masan Fish Market.



Kim Ki-young, Director of the Job Economy Bureau of the Province, said, "Since the commercial districts selected in this contest are all markets, shopping districts, and streets representing Gyeongnam, the roles of administration and local commercial districts according to the introduction of technology suitable for each type are important," adding, "We expect this to be a turning point for the digitalization of local commercial districts in the post-COVID-19 era."
