"If It's 'Win-Win Growth, Our Company Is the Best'"

Promotion of the 'Win-Win Honors Project'

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Lee Young) announced on the 9th that it will actively promote the 'Win-Win Honors Project' to spread a culture of mutual growth between large and small-to-medium enterprises. Win-Win Honors is an excellent case selected by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for mutual growth activities that go beyond unilateral or benevolent activities conducted by large corporations, involving cooperation with partner companies to achieve mutual benefits. The core of this project is to model the selected mutual growth activities and spread exemplary cases to other companies.

Companies selected for Win-Win Honors will receive various benefits such as TV broadcast promotion, issuance of preferential immigration cards, exemption from regular surveys on consignment transactions for two years, preferential treatment in government awards for mutual growth contributions, and presentation of commemorative plaques. In addition, to ensure that the cooperative efforts of large corporations do not end as one-time events, a research group consisting of selected companies and experts will model Win-Win Honors and promote its expansion using mutual growth contribution funds.

Applications for Win-Win Honors are open to large corporations, mid-sized, small, and venture companies, as well as public institutions. Selection will be conducted quarterly once a year, with up to five cases per session, evaluated by mutual growth experts based on importance, difficulty, implementation effort, performance, and sustainability. This year, the first round of applications will be accepted from August 10 to September 1.

Jeong Ki-hwan, Mutual Growth Policy Officer at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, "The Ministry of SMEs and Startups will newly promote the Win-Win Honors Project by supplementing the 'Mutual Growth of the Month' program operated last year with expanded participation, dissemination of excellent cases, and strengthened incentives. We will actively discover and promote voluntary mutual growth efforts in the private sector so that cooperation and partnership between large and small-to-medium enterprises can establish a culture of mutual growth," he said.
