Gwangju-Jeonnam Small and Medium Business Administration Supports Overseas Marketing for Regional Key Industries

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration announced on the 16th that it will promote the ‘2022 Autonomous Export Voucher Support Project’ to support exports of small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in regional specialized and key industries.

The export voucher project is implemented by distinguishing between the general voucher project carried out nationwide and the autonomous budget voucher independently promoted by the regional SME administration. The autonomous budget export voucher project is a project that focuses on supporting overseas marketing of specialized and key industries in the Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeju regions.

This year, the target support fields by region are as follows according to the location of the headquarters: the Gwangju region supports future automobile parts, intelligent home appliances, optical convergence, smart molds, high-efficiency energy, and digital biomedical fields; the Jeonnam region supports low-carbon, intelligent materials and parts industry, green energy industry, advanced transportation equipment parts industry, and bio healthcare industry fields; the Jeju region supports smart tourism industry, clean bio industry, and green energy industry fields.

In addition, companies in the bio field and agricultural and marine food field, which have shown global product potential after COVID-19, can apply regardless of region.

The autonomous budget export voucher project applicants are limited to small and medium enterprises with no exports in the previous year or direct exports under $100,000 to build a growth ladder for domestic companies and export beginner companies.

Selected companies will receive up to 30 million KRW in government support funds for overseas marketing areas such as market research, exhibition participation, design and brand development, overseas certification, and international transportation from September this year to April next year.

Small and medium enterprises wishing to participate in the project can apply by visit or mail by Wednesday, July 6, and related announcements can be found on the Gwangju-Jeonnam Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration website.

Meanwhile, the export voucher autonomous budget project was newly established in 2019, and last year, it supported 18 domestic companies and export beginner companies (with exports under $100,000 in the previous year).
