November 30 to December 4 Exhibition of Design Development Support Project Results for 10 Local SMEs in the Old District Office 1st Floor Lobby... Design Development Support through Matching DK WORKS with Professional Design Firms

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will hold an exhibition of the development results from the ‘2020 Geumcheon-gu Small and Medium Enterprise Design Development Support Project,’ conducted in collaboration with ‘DK WORKS Seoul Design-led Manufacturing Innovation Center,’ from November 30 to December 4 in the first-floor lobby of Geumcheon-gu Office.

Earlier, to support local small and medium enterprises struggling with design development due to insufficient in-house design personnel and facilities, the district signed an agreement with the Korea Institute of Design Promotion in January and has been promoting support projects in the design field.

Accordingly, DK WORKS selected 10 beneficiary companies and professional design firms each in May and June, then conducted one-on-one matching to develop customized designs tailored to each company’s needs, and produced promotional materials using the DK WORKS Smart Studio, specialized in product photography.

At this exhibition, visitors can see the results of product, packaging, and visual design development of 10 participating companies, including vehicle thermal imaging cameras, blood collection devices, hearing aids, smart electric strollers, and masks, all created through collaboration with professional design firms.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “By utilizing DK WORKS’ professional network and facilities, we were able to support customized development needed by each company, from design diagnosis to development and promotion,” and added, “We hope that through this project, participating companies will enhance their product value and corporate recognition to overcome difficulties caused by COVID-19.”
