[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 1st that it held a meeting with member companies of the Global CEO Club, a corporation (Chairman Lee Won-hae, hereinafter referred to as Global CEO Club). SBC regularly holds meetings with the Global CEO Club to listen to the difficulties and suggestions of export SMEs and reflect them in policies. The Global CEO Club, established in 2008, currently consists of 257 companies across 11 branches.

On this day, attendees discussed policy support measures to accelerate the export recovery of small and medium ventures in the post-COVID-19 era. Representatives of member companies proposed expanding SBC's support to resolve difficulties in non-face-to-face marketing and logistics, as well as collaborative projects with youth startups.

Lee Won-hae, CEO of Daemo Engineering, said, "Although exports are gradually recovering, some industries such as manufacturing still find it difficult to feel the export recovery trend," adding, "Since SBC is an institution with a high understanding of the corporate field, we expect it to promptly prepare practical support measures for export companies."

Chairman Kim responded, "I was able to sense the export field situation experienced by the representatives of leading companies driving Korea's export economy," and said, "SBC will promptly reflect the parts it can support in projects and actively consult with government ministries such as the Ministry of SMEs and Startups on parts that are difficult to support independently." He added, "In the future, we will take the lead in revitalizing SME exports through field-oriented support based on close cooperation with export SMEs."

Meanwhile, before the meeting began, an award ceremony was held for seven outstanding small and medium enterprises that contributed to overcoming the COVID-19 export crisis, enhancing global competitiveness, and revitalizing the regional economy.
