The recruitment fields include a total of 12 programs across three areas: ▲ Consulting (3 programs), ▲ Technical Support (5 programs), and ▲ Marketing (4 programs). Implementing agencies will be selected for each program within these fields.

Institutions wishing to participate as implementing agencies may apply for multiple programs within the application fields: up to 3 consulting programs, up to 4 marketing programs, and up to 4 technical support programs. Services can only be provided for the programs for which they are selected.

In particular, this year, the Small and Medium Business Corporation has raised the standards for document evaluation and introduced presentation evaluations to improve service quality and verify the capabilities of implementing agencies. Furthermore, even after selection, incentives will be provided to excellent implementing agencies based on service satisfaction evaluations and performance records, while penalties such as exclusion from next year’s projects will be imposed if evaluation results are unsatisfactory.

Director Kang Seok-jin stated, “While ensuring the choice of demand companies, we will select excellent implementing agencies to secure the effectiveness and transparency of the Innovation Voucher Project aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of manufacturing SMEs.”
