Gyeonggawon Holds Performance Report Meeting for Design Challengers

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] On the 1st, the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency held the '2021 Design Challengers Performance Report Meeting' at the Gyeonggi-do Agency Vision Room in Suwon Gwanggyo Technovalley.

The Design Challengers project is a program that supports the development of diversified designs by matching two design specialized companies per participating company. In particular, a mentor is assigned to each company to provide customized mentoring in product planning, marketing, research and development (R&D), intellectual property rights, and more to assist product development.

Through this year's evaluation, the agency selected three small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the province that possess eco-friendly, post-COVID-19, and advanced medical device product groups. These companies will receive design development assistance through six design specialized companies.

At the performance report meeting, the progress results of six projects from three companies participating in the support project were shared. Through evaluation, the SME Krenz Co., Ltd. and the design specialized company Neo Impact, which developed a sterilizer product design in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, were selected as the best companies.

Yoon Seok-hoon, director of Krenz Co., Ltd., stated, "Through the Design Challengers project, differentiated design and mentoring from experts added to the product greatly helped us secure competitiveness," and emphasized, "Based on this, we will become a company leading K-quarantine in the post-COVID-19 era."
