[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coupang announced on the 23rd that it attended the 'Mid-sized Enterprises Digital Alliance Launch Ceremony' held at The Zone Eulji Tower in Jung-gu, Seoul. On this day, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Korea Federation of Mid-sized Enterprises, and 11 digital transformation supply companies including Coupang signed a business agreement and agreed to actively cooperate in supporting the digital transformation of mid-sized enterprises and promoting the activities of the Mid-sized Enterprises Digital Alliance. Through participation in this collaborative project, Coupang plans to provide the know-how of the social distancing app it independently developed in response to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) to demand companies within the Mid-sized Enterprises Association when necessary.

In July, Coupang implemented ultra-high-intensity social distancing at its workplaces and independently developed and commercialized a social distancing app for on-site workers. The social distancing app installed on workers' PDAs is set to sound an alarm when a worker stays within a 1-meter radius and automatically record the contact person. This minimizes inadvertent contact during work to maintain social distancing and allows for the rapid identification of close contacts in case of confirmed or suspected cases through the automatically recorded contact list.
