Incheon TP Supports the Establishment of Digital Clusters for SMEs

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) announced on the 24th that it has been selected as a planning institution for the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' 'Smart Factory Distribution Expansion Project Digital Cluster' contest.

This project aims to create a digital manufacturing innovation ecosystem through cluster-type smart factory distribution that connects companies with collaborative demand via data and networks.

Incheon TP plans to invest 2 billion KRW this year to select a consortium composed of more than 10 small and medium manufacturing companies in the beauty industry group and support the construction of joint and individual systems.

Manufacturing companies forming the consortium will receive support of up to 400 million KRW per company for costs involved in building joint systems such as warehouse and logistics management systems to be used together, as well as individual systems like Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) necessary for each company.

To this end, Incheon TP plans to engage in discovering and recruiting cluster consortium demands, presenting and guiding digital cluster models, and supporting the establishment of Information Strategy Plans (ISP).

An Incheon TP official stated, "After the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' contest, Incheon TP and others were finally selected as one of 10 planning institutions nationwide," adding, "We will support enhancing the competitiveness of manufacturing sites in small and medium enterprises through the construction of individual smart factories and joint/collaborative smart systems."
