[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 13th, Heo Seong-mu, mayor of Changwon City, introduced local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to buyers through the ‘2020 Korea-World Overseas Korean Business Week’ and said, “We will actively support overseas expansion.”

Local SMEs also participated in the Korea-World Overseas Korean Business Week, which connects Korea and overseas Korean businesspeople, seizing opportunities to interact with overseas Korean companies.

Among the various sessions held over three days from the 12th, Mayor Heo Seong-mu attracted attention by actively explaining the technological capabilities and strengths of representative companies that have led Changwon’s industrial development directly to the overseas Korean businesspeople during the ‘Changwon SME Session.’

The session started with Daehotech, one of the six companies participating in Oasis representing Changwon. Daehotech, a lens equipment manufacturer possessing the world’s number one global market share in aspherical glass lens molding machines and curved glass molding machines, showcased its excellent technology to the overseas Korean businesspeople.

Samyang Optics, which researches and develops camera lenses, also promoted its products. Based on over 45 years of optical technology, Samyang Optics is a representative Changwon company selling interchangeable camera lenses worldwide.

Korea Electronics Technology, a developer of portable sterilizers, introduced its portable UV sterilizer. The product, certified by an authorized certification body, can sterilize 99.9% of harmful bacteria such as superbugs, Salmonella, and E. coli, attracting the attention of overseas Korean businesspeople.

Weltem, a company specializing in portable air conditioners, demonstrated its concentrated cooling and heating device that can be used in places where overall cooling is impossible, such as industrial sites and outdoor events, showcasing its technology.

Moderntec, which produces electric vehicle chargers, presented its products including a separable charger and a robot charging system.

Daegun Tech, researching 3D printers, is a company developing various products and investing in technology in the industrial hardware security sector, demonstrating its competitiveness.

A participant from one of the companies in Oasis said, “For SMEs, there are few promotional opportunities, and with overseas market development blocked due to COVID-19, standing on a big stage like Oasis to promote is a great opportunity. Especially, it was helpful that the mayor of Changwon personally participated to assist in product promotion.”

Mayor Heo said, “The consumer goods companies participating this time will continue to promote their businesses and support business matching with overseas Korean businesspeople through KWCE·NET, and we will actively discover companies with outstanding competitiveness and capabilities in each field in the future.”
