Amid changes in South Korea's export environment due to high interest rates, rising raw material prices, and global economic slowdown, this meeting was organized to proactively identify and resolve the challenges mid-sized companies face in export sites and to discuss support measures.


The participating mid-sized companies shared many opinions regarding current logistics difficulties and possible solutions. This year, KOTRA is providing various services such as the ‘Mid-sized Company Logistics Special Support Project’ to assist overseas logistics for mid-sized companies. Through this service, companies can receive support of 10 million KRW per country, up to five countries, with a maximum of 50 million KRW. KOTRA plans to recruit additional participating companies by the end of March.


Additionally, companies participating in the recently completed recruitment for the ‘Mid-sized Company Global Support Project’ (Export Voucher) can use up to 20 million KRW for logistics costs. In collaboration with logistics startups, KOTRA is also operating logistics consulting and digital logistics information services.


At the meeting, KOTRA President Yoo Jeong-yeol stated, “We will develop customized support projects exclusively for mid-sized companies to help them leap into global enterprises, and actively identify and resolve export difficulties experienced on the ground.”



Meanwhile, KOTRA plans to prepare support measures not only for logistics difficulties but also for overseas marketing, certification, and other challenges mid-sized companies face related to exports.
