[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 27th that the 'SME Welfare Platform' surpassed 120,000 members just one year after its launch.

The SME Welfare Platform was launched in September last year. It is a platform created by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry to improve the welfare of workers in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Through the SME Welfare Platform, the Ministry provides workers with access to leisure, travel, healthcare, and product malls that individual SMEs find difficult to offer. So far, through expanding supply products and enhancing services, the platform has achieved 123,633 registered members and 8,025 registered companies. It has recorded a cumulative order count of 24,942 and a cumulative order amount of 2.1 billion KRW.

The number of partner companies affiliated with the SME Welfare Platform has steadily increased to 38. The number of products and services has grown to over 1.2 million. The Ministry plans to increase benefits for SME Welfare Platform members by establishing ▲ linkage with the Value-Sapsida platform ▲ introduction of a welfare points system ▲ opening of regional product halls ▲ dedicated welfare centers for each company.

Jung Ki-hwan, Director of Job Policy at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, "It is necessary to further activate the SME Welfare Platform to narrow the welfare gap between large and small-to-medium enterprises," adding, "We also plan to devise ways to create synergy by linking the Value-Sapsida platform with the SME Welfare Platform."
