One-on-One Export Consultations to Expand Overseas Market Access

The Jeonbuk Regional Small and Medium Venture Business Administration of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Commissioner Ahn Tae-yong, hereinafter Jeonbuk SMBA) announced that it held the '2023 Overseas Buyer Invitation Export Consultation Meeting' on the 14th to support the overseas market entry of excellent products from startups and general companies in the Jeonbuk region.

This export consultation meeting was organized through collaboration between Jeonbuk SMBA, Jeonbuk Startup Growth Center, and Jeonbuk KOTRA, expanding recruitment from general SMEs to startups, focusing on key industries. Additionally, as the effectiveness of the export consultation meetings held online over the past three years declined, the event was held offline.

On the day of the export consultation meeting, 7 overseas buyers and 18 SMEs participated, conducting a total of 28 consultations. SMEs and startups in the province wishing to participate were recruited, and information on desired export products was provided in advance to overseas buyers. The process was conducted by having overseas buyers directly select companies they wished to consult for export.

The consultations were one-on-one matches between overseas buyers and participating companies, covering overall and detailed matters such as price competitiveness, quality, export potential, and procedures.

The export consultation meeting included food companies, a key industry in Jeonbuk, and a lively atmosphere unfolded between overseas buyers who carefully examined differentiation and marketability and participating companies that emphasized their excellence, characteristics, and functions.

Commissioner Ahn stated, "I hope this event will be of practical help in exporting products from the Jeonbuk region," and added, "To improve both the quantity and quality of the consultation meetings, we will plan more substantial events in the future based on surveys of participating companies and feedback from overseas buyers."
