[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Inno-Biz Association announced on the 13th that it will promote the "Certification System Transfer Project for Discovering and Fostering Technology Innovation-type SMEs in Peru" as part of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Global Training Project.

This project has been ongoing as a three-year project from 2019 to this year. Due to the spread of COVID-19, it is operated non-face-to-face instead of the existing face-to-face format. Through the transfer of the "Inno-Biz (Technology Innovation-type SME) Certification System," which has contributed to discovering and fostering excellent domestic SMEs, it aims to secure the driving force for Peru's economic growth. It is scheduled to take place from the 12th to the 21st of this month.

This year, a total of 21 local trainees, including central government officials from the Ministry of Production of Peru and related institution personnel, will participate in a 10-day online training. Plans are in place to jointly explore ways to establish the Inno-Biz certification system within Peru.

In particular, the third-year training includes in-depth education on Inno-Biz certification guidelines and operational regulations, theoretical lectures such as the latest cases of Inno-Biz certification, and real-time system-building workshops including finalizing Peru-style certification guidelines and assigning roles to certification bodies and institutions. The goal is to establish a Peru-style Inno-Biz certification system through this.

Hong Changwoo, Executive Director of the Inno-Biz Association, who attended the opening ceremony, said, "After this training, the final year of the three-year program, we hope that the introduction of the Peru-style Inno-Biz certification system will lead to the participating trainees becoming leaders in fostering technology innovation-type SMEs in Peru." He added, "Especially this year is more meaningful as it marks the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the Inno-Biz certification system, which has been leading technological innovation in domestic SMEs."

In addition to this training course, the association is promoting various Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects such as ▲Innovative packing technology development training to improve productivity of SMEs in Cambodia ▲Knowledge-sharing projects on Korean development experience for high-ranking officials of the new government in Colombia ▲Digital transformation capacity-building training in Morocco.
