Gyeonggi Economic Science Institute Launches 'SME Innovation Mentor Group'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency is launching the 'Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Mentor' project.

On the 24th, the Gyeonggi Economic Science Agency announced that it held the 'Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Mentor Launch Ceremony' at Gwanggyo Hall on the first floor of the agency building in Yeongtong, Gwanggyo Technovalley, Suwon.

The Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Mentor project is a program where an innovation mentor group composed of experts in various fields provides customized on-site diagnosis and consulting on applicable support projects to SMEs facing management difficulties. Any SME in the province can apply through the EGBiz website (www.egbiz.or.kr).

The Gyeonggi Economic Science Agency expects that this project will enable systematic support for SMEs and help strengthen the competitiveness of companies that are in blind spots.

The innovation mentors appointed on this day will serve as mentors until the end of this year. Companies can receive mentoring up to three times. The Gyeonggi Economic Science Agency plans to support a total of 720 companies by the end of this year.

Kim Ki-jun, head of the Gyeonggi Economic Science Agency, said, "Although the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has increased uncertainty in the business environment, it is still difficult for companies to obtain necessary information or know-how. We hope that active communication with mentors will enable proactive responses to the rapidly changing environment."
