Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority Supports Social Economy Enterprises in Exploring Overseas Markets

[Gwangyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority (President Park Seonghyun) announced on the 23rd that it will promote the 2022 ‘YGPA Social Economy Enterprises Overseas Market Development Support Project’ to establish a foundation for overseas market entry and expand sales channels for social economy enterprises in the region.

This project supports social economy enterprises in the Yeosu, Suncheon, and Gwangyang areas by dividing the program into three stages for establishing a foundation for overseas market entry and expanding sales channels: ▲ export preparation ▲ client discovery ▲ contract signing. For each export stage, 2 to 3 detailed support programs such as education, credit investigation, and consulting will be provided to offer customized support based on the needs of the participants.

Small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to participate in the project must apply online by referring to the announcement posted on the Authority’s website or Sangsaengnuri. The Authority plans to select support target companies through a prescribed evaluation of the applicants received by March 25.

Choi Yeoncheol, Vice President and Head of Win-Win Cooperation at the Authority, said, “We expect this to greatly help local social economy enterprises struggling to discover overseas export markets due to COVID-19 in pioneering sales channels and alleviating export difficulties.” He added, “We will systematically support so that practical results such as overseas client contract signing and sales expansion of the supported companies can be achieved.”
