[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 22nd, Mokpo National University announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the 21st with the global shopping platform Qoo10 and the agency Blackbean to ‘foster global sellers and support online exports of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).’

This agreement was established to actively support the training of young global sellers, employment, and entrepreneurship, thereby revitalizing online exports of local SMEs. The signing ceremony, held non-face-to-face, was attended by Mokpo National University President Park Min-seo, Qoo10 Korea Corporation Executive Director Jeong Yong-hwan, and Blackbean CEO Kim Ki-cheol, among others.

According to the agreement, each organization will mutually cooperate in supporting global seller training education, supporting online exports of SMEs, and sharing information on global e-commerce market and technology trends.

Mokpo National University is carrying out the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ ‘E-commerce Specialized University Operation Project’ and ‘Global Seller Development Support Project,’ as well as Jeollanam-do’s ‘Greater China On-Offline Integrated Export Support Project.’ Participating students have supported online exports of local companies through eBay and Amazon.

This time, to actively support prospective entrepreneurs interested in entering the New Southern Market, the university partnered with Qoo10 for Southeast Asia expansion.

Qoo10 conducts local promotions in Southeast Asia for global sellers’ products and provides overseas shipping solutions through the e-commerce specialized logistics company Qxpress.

Blackbean discovers and recommends export products for students lacking online export experience and supports overseas sales-related education courses such as marketing and consulting.

Mokpo National University plans to establish a close cooperation and support system with the local community, including local youth and SMEs, based on this collaboration.

President Park Min-seo of Mokpo National University said, “Through the MOU with a leading online market company, we hope that students will grow into competitive global sellers and that online exports of local companies will be revitalized.”
