[Asia Economy Reporter Sunmi Park] The Korea International Trade Association (KITA) announced on the 16th that it held the ‘Domestic New Industry Small and Medium Enterprise Overseas Expansion Export Consultation’ at the Trade Tower in Samseong-dong.


A total of 63 promising companies from Europe, including France and Spain, specializing in eco-friendly energy, healthcare, and information technology (IT), participated both online and offline. These companies were invited by KITA and the European Enterprise Network (EEN), and included global leaders such as Maersk, the world's largest shipping company; WinCommerce, Vietnam's largest distribution company; Big C, a subsidiary of Central Group, Thailand's largest distribution company; and the Ikano Group, which operates the global furniture brand IKEA.


Domestically, 124 companies from sectors such as daily necessities, cosmetics, medical devices, and industrial machinery and equipment participated, conducting one-on-one export consultations with buyers. KITA plans to build an online exhibition hall on TradeKorea, a B2B transaction mediation platform, for the participating companies, and link it with EEN’s official online platform, ‘Next EEN,’ to support partner matching for product exports, technology transfers, and joint research.



Kim Hyun-chul, Head of Global Cooperation at KITA, stated, “We will discover 100 small and medium-sized export companies in new industries such as eco-friendly and healthcare by 2025 and nurture them as new export engines.” He added, “We will actively utilize EEN to support follow-up export results for the domestic small and medium enterprises discovered through this consultation.”
