Gwanak-gu Supports Market Expansion for Social Economy Enterprises

Gwanak-gu Takes Initiative to Secure Market Channels for Social Economy Enterprises... Event to Promote Social Economy Held
11 Local Companies and Over 200 Public Procurement Officials Participate

"Many people do not know what public procurement is or what kind of place a social economy enterprise is, so it is truly reassuring and grateful that the district supports market development like this."

This was said by an employee of a social economy enterprise located in Gwanak-gu.

Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Junhee) held the '2024 Gwanak Social Economy Public Procurement Briefing' on the 10th to secure market channels for social economy enterprises.

Hosted by Gwanak-gu and organized by the Gwanak Social Economy Integrated Support Center, this event was attempted for the first time this year as part of a project to secure stable and continuous market channels for social economy enterprises. This demonstrates the district's strong commitment to revitalizing the social economy.

The event was held under the theme "Exciting Spring, Try Public Procurement," with about 200 attendees including Gwanak-gu office employees and public procurement officers from Gwanak Facilities Management Corporation and Gwanak Cultural Foundation.

The program was diversely composed of ▲ social economy public procurement education ▲ social economy awareness survey ▲ operation of promotional booths for Gwanak-gu social economy enterprises. In particular, 11 local social economy enterprises showcased products and services in various fields such as events, education, and food.

The 11 social economy enterprises participating in the event were selected last month as Gwanak-gu-based social economy enterprises that met public institution delivery conditions such as supply capacity, delivery performance, and delivery terms.

The district plans to continue supporting social economy enterprises' entry into the public market by continuously monitoring public procurement performance after the briefing in cooperation with the Gwanak Social Economy Integrated Support Center until December.

A district official said, "We hope this briefing will raise awareness of the necessity of prioritizing the purchase of social economy enterprise products and serve as an opportunity to bring a warm breeze to the social economy ecosystem."
