[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 11th that it will officially start providing customized consulting from the 12th to help disaster safety companies with excellent technologies and products overcome difficulties encountered during commercialization and support their growth.

This customized consulting support project is the second implementation following last year, with 24 companies selected as recipients this year. The 24 companies selected this time were recognized for their potential in the fields of fire safety, natural disasters, and traffic safety.

First, in the fire safety field, 10 companies producing products such as fire automatic extinguishing tape that can be attached where fire extinguishing devices cannot be installed, malfunction-prevention sprinklers, and intelligent fire detectors based on fusion sensors were selected. In the industrial and facility safety field, 5 companies producing smart measurement monitoring systems for structural collapse risk, AI platforms for industrial site safety management, and seismic-resistant welding-free piping were chosen.

Additionally, in the natural disaster field, 4 companies manufacturing products such as the 'steep slope collapse detection system' that measures impact and tilt with Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to respond to collapse risks, and the 'eco-friendly rainwater storage tank' to promote water saving and reuse were selected. Furthermore, in fields such as traffic safety, 5 companies with various disaster safety technologies and products were named, including control solutions that install motion sensors on two-wheeled vehicles to prevent accidents, AI-equipped rescue drones, and space sterilizers for epidemic prevention.

The consultation areas cover six fields including public procurement, certification acquisition, product design, and overseas export, and consultations will be conducted in the areas desired by the participating companies through detailed demand surveys. In addition, plans are in place to build cooperative relationships among participating companies and expand information exchange through meetings and expert lectures.

Kim Jong-han, Director of Safety Management Policy at the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, said, “We hope that customized consultations will serve as a catalyst for growth and market expansion for small and medium disaster safety companies facing many difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” and added, “We will continue to pay close attention to disaster safety companies and strive to expand support.”
