[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) held a meeting on the 11th with the Korea Institute of Design Promotion's DK Works Product Development Support Center and 10 participating companies to ensure the smooth progress of the local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) design development support project.

The meeting took place in the conference room of the DK Works Product Development Support Center, with 14 participants including Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, Park Han-chul, Research Fellow at the Korea Institute of Design Promotion, and representatives of the participating companies.

On this day, the participants shared the progress and future plans of the Geumcheon-gu SME design development support project and took time to listen to the opinions of the participating companies for efficient project implementation.

The district plans to provide customized design development support through 1:1 matching between participating companies and design specialists, promote the developed results, and offer tailored support to enhance the product value and competitiveness of the participating companies.

Before launching the project, the district signed a business agreement with the Korea Institute of Design Promotion in January to revitalize the Geumcheon local industry. The DK Works Product Development Support Center selected 10 local companies with innovation potential and development needs, and recruited design specialist companies to carry out the design development tasks for the participating companies after design consulting.

Park Han-chul, Research Fellow at DK Works, said, “After the design development process through 1:1 matching between participating companies and design specialist companies is completed, we plan to utilize the professional personnel and facilities of mbc+ Smart Studio to shoot and promote the developed results, and we will do our best to achieve successful outcomes.”

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “In a situation where business management is shrinking due to COVID-19, I hope that participating companies will overcome difficult times through this project and gain new growth momentum.”
