BPA was honored for its active efforts to coexist with local communities and port-related small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Additionally, BPA secured the ‘Highest Grade’ in the Win-Win Growth Evaluation for two consecutive years, firmly establishing itself as a leading institution in win-win growth and cooperative partnerships.

It is actively promoting projects to strengthen the capabilities of SMEs, such as support for smart factories and ICT implementation, assistance in developing domestic and international markets for SMEs cooperating with Busan Port, and specialized support for port-related companies.

In particular, this year, BPA collaborated directly with the Foundation for Large, Small, and Medium Enterprises and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Cooperation to carry out a technology leakage prevention system support project for the first time, and newly participated in the fishing village vacant house regeneration project linked to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ fishing village and fishing port regeneration project.

BPA is also conducting projects to promote seafood from the Busan and Gyeongnam regions and to strengthen ESG capabilities in rural and fishing villages.

Kang Jun-seok, President of Busan Port Authority, stated, “We will continue to strive to grow together with Busan Port and the local community based on the value of win-win growth and become a public institution that leads development.”
