‘Gieopjiwontok’ … Pohang City Provides Real-Time Customized Support Policies

Provision of Information by City and Related Organizations, Bridging Information Gaps Between Companies

1:1 Chat for Inquiries and Issues Receives Strong Response from Companies

Pohang City has launched and is actively operating the ‘Pohang City Business Support Talk’ KakaoTalk channel to efficiently deliver various information such as government and local government business support projects and promotional matters to companies within the region.

'Pohang City Business Support Talk'

Since its launch in April last year, ‘Pohang City Business Support Talk’ has complemented the limitations of one-way promotional methods such as websites, mail, and official documents by providing real-time information necessary for businesses, receiving great responses from local companies.

As business policies are implemented by various institutions, many companies find it difficult to locate suitable information. Through ‘Business Support Talk,’ the city provides real-time information not only on its own projects but also on business support programs promoted by key related organizations such as the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, Gyeongbuk Province, and the Pohang Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

In particular, during the damage caused by Typhoon Hin Nam No last year, the channel sent about 2,000 messages to guide companies on damage reporting and promote support policies. It also offers consultations covering the entire business support process, from general inquiries to detailed projects such as interest subsidies for operating funds.

Kim Shin, Director of the Investment Business Support Division, stated, “We have established and are operating a mobile-based promotional tool to bridge the information gap between companies and make information easily accessible. We will do our best to ensure that no company misses out on various support policy information.”

Currently, about 400 local companies receive information through ‘Pohang City Business Support Talk.’ By searching for ‘Pohang City Business Support Talk’ in the KakaoTalk search bar at the top and adding the channel, companies can receive various business support policies promoted by the city and related organizations.
