[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority (BPA) is conducting the "2022 Busan Port Authority Innovation Proposal Contest" from the 26th to August 19th to create a private-led innovation growth environment and to discover policy ideas based on voices from the field.

In line with the government's policy direction, BPA plans to identify and improve unnecessary regulations, systems, and excessive restrictions through the contest. It also aims to discover various ideas that can support private innovation growth through convergence of innovative technologies and collaboration.

Additionally, proposals for improving the authority's inefficient work processes and overall innovation in the institution's projects and operations are also being accepted.

BPA will incorporate the selected proposals into innovation tasks and systematically promote them by supporting budgets and personnel. The contest is divided into three main areas: ▲Regulatory Innovation ▲Work Process Innovation ▲Support for Private Innovation Growth.

Anyone working in industries related to Busan Port or customers who have experience using port facilities operated by BPA, such as piers or passenger terminals, can participate in the contest.

Contest-related documents can be submitted via email or mail. Detailed information is available on the Busan Port Authority website.

BPA plans to select five outstanding works in each category through evaluations by the Innovation Task Force and the Citizen Participation Innovation Group, awarding prizes worth up to 500,000 KRW to the winners.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, "We prepared this contest to activate private-centered economic activities and investments through innovation activities reflecting field difficulties and creative ideas," adding, "We will discover and implement regulatory reform tasks across the organization to realize public service innovation that the public can feel."
