[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is holding a naming contest for the '(tentative name) Gwanak-gu Clothing Sewing Small Business Joint Infrastructure' (hereinafter 'Joint Infrastructure'), which is being established to promote collaboration and strengthen competitiveness among small clothing sewing businesses.

In May, the district was selected for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' 'Small Business Cluster Joint Infrastructure Construction' project and is currently developing the 'Joint Infrastructure' on the 2nd and 3rd floors of 1517-1 Nambusunhwan-ro (located in Sinsa-dong), aiming to open in January next year.

The 2nd floor of the Joint Infrastructure will house a cutting room and CAD room, while the 3rd floor will include a shared workshop, development room, sample room, training room, and office. It is intended to help improve the productivity of small clothing sewing businesses and serve as a place for networking among them.

Additionally, the facility plans to conduct capacity-building education, management consulting, work environment improvement, and market expansion support projects to revitalize Gwanak-gu's clothing sewing small businesses, aiming to create an ecosystem where these small businesses can sustain growth independently.

The naming contest will accept submissions from September 27 to October 8 at 6 p.m. The name should widely promote Gwanak-gu's clothing sewing industry and be original and creative enough to resonate with local residents.

The evaluation will be conducted in two stages: first, the Clothing Sewing Association and small business owners will select five finalists from all submissions; then, the final judging committee will choose the winner based on suitability, originality, and popularity.

The results will be announced on October 22 through the Gwanak-gu Office website and individual notifications to winners. The top proposer will receive a 100,000 won Seoul Love Gift Certificate, and four other excellent proposers will each receive a 50,000 won Seoul Love Gift Certificate.
