Lee Dongha, Director of Industry-Academic Cooperation at DGIST, said, "Many companies are facing difficulties in expanding overseas due to the global economic downturn and the aftermath of COVID-19, so we are conducting export consultation support projects," adding, "We plan to expand projects to increase overseas expansion of SMEs so that more companies can find breakthroughs amid the difficult economic environment."
