[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the morning of the 24th that it held a strategic meeting at the Daejeon SangSang Art Hall to explore efficient support measures for the Export Voucher Project and directions for export and marketing support in the post-COVID-19 era.

About 40 participants, including Lee Seong-hee, Head of SBC's Global Growth Headquarters, and officials in charge of the Export Voucher Project, attended the strategic meeting. The participants shared opinions on efficient operation plans for the Export Voucher Project using the supplementary budget for the second half of the year and discussed improvement directions. They also held discussions on the direction of export support projects for small and medium enterprises in response to the post-COVID-19 era.

In particular, prior to the meeting, Professor Kim Kwang-seok of Hanyang University Graduate School of International Studies was invited to give a lecture on the direction of export marketing support in the post-COVID-19 era. Professor Kim emphasized the importance of non-face-to-face services after the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and urged SBC to play an active role in fostering related industries.

Meanwhile, SBC is recruiting participating companies for the 4th Export Voucher Project until the 28th of next month. Utilizing a supplementary budget of 13.5 billion KRW, it will support about 360 companies. The target companies are exporters with export performance in the previous year, with export amounts of at least 100,000 USD but less than 5 million USD. Selected companies can use export vouchers up to 80 million KRW depending on their export scale in the previous year.

Lee Seong-hee, Head of SBC's Global Growth Headquarters, said, "We will actively reflect the opinions from the strategic meeting to continuously strengthen the efficiency of export support projects," and added, "We will also make every effort to promptly execute the supplementary budget for the second half of the year to help export companies overcome the export slowdown crisis caused by COVID-19 early and continue their growth."
