One Year Since the Introduction of the 'National Recommendation System'... 343 SMEs and Small Business Owners Selected

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Junhyung] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 31st that through the 'National Recommendation System,' a total of 1,224 SMEs and small business owners were recommended across 10 projects including Baeknyeon Gage, and 343 were selected. The ministry plans to expand the National Recommendation System focusing on projects with high public satisfaction.

Implemented for the first time this year, the National Recommendation System is a part of citizen participation policies aimed at discovering promising companies and small businesses around us. Consumers who have used the products of companies and customers who have visited small business stores directly recommend these companies and small business owners to the ministry’s 10 projects.

Among the ministry’s projects receiving national recommendations, 'Baeknyeon Gage' and 'Baeknyeon Sogongin' attracted the most public interest. Baeknyeon Gage received a cumulative 631 recommendations, with 186 finally selected. Baeknyeon Sogongin received 470 cumulative recommendations, with 152 finally selected.

The National Recommendation System appears to have expanded the promotion and beneficiary scope of the ministry’s support projects by involving citizens directly in selecting support targets. Kim Youngsik, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ Customer Informatization Officer, stated, "We will continue efforts to ensure that SMEs and small business owners certified by the public can receive support," adding, "In the future, we will discover and expand recommendation targets focusing on projects with high public satisfaction."
