[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 18th that it held a meeting with online export-related companies at Crade International in Mapo-gu, Seoul, which led export growth through online overseas expansion despite the COVID-19 crisis.


At the meeting, Park Young-sun, Minister of SMEs and Startups, and representatives from four online export companies including Crade International attended to listen to the difficulties and suggestions of the related industry.


The Ministry explained that the on-site visit was conducted to encourage the achievements of our small and medium-sized enterprises' exports, which have played a supporting role in our economy despite the COVID-19 pandemic, and to discuss the expansion of government policies to support online exports with higher growth potential in the future.


Lee Jaeseop, CEO of Crade International, who attended the meeting, explained his know-how, starting as a one-person company discovering promising domestic products and acting as an export agent, and currently collaborating with global online malls and establishing his own independent mall. Then, Minister Park and the export company representatives had a time to discuss comprehensive support measures to systematically support small and medium-sized merchants' online overseas expansion.



Minister Park Young-sun of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups said, “In an era where non-face-to-face consumption is becoming routine, the growth potential of online exports is greater than ever,” and added, “The government will spare no effort to help our small and medium-sized enterprises expand overseas through online channels.”
