[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) will hold the ‘G Valley Non-face-to-face Week’ from the 9th to the 11th to shift the stagnant atmosphere caused by COVID-19 and to support G Valley entrepreneurs and workers.

Now in its 5th year, ‘G Valley Week’ is an industrial and cultural event week for G Valley entrepreneurs and workers, jointly organized by Seoul City, Geumcheon-gu, Guro-gu, Seoul Business Agency (SBA), and Korea Industrial Complex Corporation.

This year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure citizens’ safety, the event will be held online in a non-face-to-face format.

Among the events hosted by Geumcheon-gu are the ‘Online Export Consultation’ and the ‘Guro Industrial Complex Workers’ Life Experience Center Special Exhibition.’

The Online Export Consultation, co-hosted by Geumcheon-gu, Guro-gu, SBA, and Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, is an event that discovers overseas buyers in IT, information communication, and promising sectors, matching them with participating companies to support small and medium enterprises in developing overseas market channels.

From the 9th to the 11th, it will be held at the SBA G Valley Activation Team Lounge located in Gasan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, with about 80 small and medium enterprises based in G Valley and Seoul, and about 40 overseas buyers mainly from the New Southern region participating.

Additionally, from the 7th to the 11th, the district will hold the special online exhibition ‘A Special Ordinary Day’ at the Guro Industrial Complex Workers’ Life Experience Center.

‘A Special Ordinary Day’ is an exhibition about the ordinary people who lived in the Guro Industrial Complex, which became the foundation of today’s G Valley. It will showcase interviews with the subjects and items bearing the traces of time through the G Valley Week website and the district website.

Meanwhile, to enhance the historical significance and regional value of the Guro Industrial Complex, Geumcheon-gu operates the Guro Industrial Complex Workers’ Life Experience Center in Gasan-dong, Geumcheon-gu. Currently, due to COVID-19, visitors who cannot come in person can experience the VR exhibition hall, allowing online viewing of the special exhibition and the interior of the experience center.

Yoo Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Although everyone is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, I want to extend a supportive hand to G Valley people and residents even through online means,” adding, “I hope that ‘G Valley Non-face-to-face Week’ will be an opportunity for the stagnant G Valley to regain its vitality as before.”
