Overseas Market Expansion? Now Going Live

Busan Port Authority and Busan Chamber of Commerce Hold YouTube Online Briefing and Training for Local Companies

Online Business Expansion Seminar Based on Non-Face-to-Face Overseas Market Development Hosted by Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Port Authority (BPA) and the Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry held a preliminary briefing session for the Busan Port Untact Overseas Market Development Support Project through an online live broadcast for local companies on the 31st.

They also conducted marketing support training using the e-commerce open market platform Alibaba.

This online non-face-to-face briefing and training were planned to provide explanations and education related to the project to local companies via YouTube, as large-scale briefings were difficult due to COVID-19.

During the online non-face-to-face briefing, the session was held for companies selected for the Busan Port Untact Overseas Market Development Support Project, which Busan Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Busan Port Authority recently signed an agreement to promote. The session covered the upcoming project procedures and included a Q&A time for participating companies.

The two organizations analyzed the entire overseas expansion process for small and medium-sized enterprises in advance and developed a total of nine support programs for this project. After a public contest process in June, 35 participating companies were finally selected earlier this month.

Following the project briefing, more than 60 company representatives interested in using Alibaba participated online in the e-commerce open platform Alibaba utilization training.

A representative from the Busan Chamber of Commerce said, “The online non-face-to-face briefing and training, attempted for the first time this time, will help local companies facing difficulties in manpower management due to COVID-19 to operate their workforce flexibly.”

Going forward, companies will carry out the support programs for about five months until December based on the business plans submitted during the contest.

Nam Ki-chan, president of BPA, said, “We hope this project will help Busan Port partner companies seek opportunities to develop overseas markets, and we will continue to promote various win-win cooperation projects.”
