Yongin City Industrial Promotion Agency Promotes SME IP and Marketing Support Project

Investing 270 Million to Support 51 Companies

The Yongin City Industrial Promotion Agency under Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province, is promoting support projects for intellectual property (IP) and marketing for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

On the 30th, the Yongin City Industrial Promotion Agency announced that it will recruit companies eligible for four support projects targeting local SMEs: ▲certification and patents ▲IP creation ▲marketing ▲public market development. The agency plans to invest 270 million KRW in this project and support 51 companies.

The certification and patent support project provides support for the costs of obtaining domestic and international certifications or patent applications. Starting this year, the agency plans to enhance support effectiveness for technology-innovative SMEs (Inno-Biz) by establishing a cooperative system with the Korea Technology Innovation Association for certification support.

The IP creation support project assists SMEs in protecting their IP by supporting the acquisition of industrial property rights such as patent maps, utility models, trademarks, and designs. Additionally, through the marketing support project, the agency intends to provide customized support for companies, including online and offline advertising and promotional materials.

Furthermore, the agency will also promote a public market development support project that provides step-by-step consulting and training from eligibility evaluation to price negotiation for product registration on the Public Procurement Service's Nara Marketplace comprehensive shopping mall.

This project is open to SMEs with headquarters or factories located in Yongin City. Detailed information on each project can be found on the agency's website or the Yongin Enterprise Support System.

Baemyeonggon, director of the Yongin City Industrial Promotion Agency, said, "Starting with this announcement, we plan to sequentially implement projects in areas needed by companies," adding, "We will continue to do our best to support companies in line with this year's administrative goal of 'dynamic innovative growth.'"
