Gyeonggi-do Supports Export Novice Companies with 'Dedicated Mentors'... Customized Consulting for 100 Firms

Gyeonggi Province will support dedicated mentors this year to provide customized consulting for 'export beginner companies' within the province.

The dedicated mentors for export beginner companies will provide tailored consulting services such as establishing overseas marketing strategies and discovering buyers, targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the province with relatively little export experience.

Gyeonggi Province is recruiting domestic export SMEs to participate in this project until the 21st. The province has previously selected experts with over 20 years of experience in various industrial fields as dedicated mentors.

Gyeonggi Province has set the mentor fee per company at 550,000 KRW per month, of which 70%, or 385,000 KRW, will be supported. The company's self-payment cost is 165,000 KRW.

Gyeonggi Province will support a total of 100 export beginner companies, 50 in the first half of the year and 50 in the second half. Eligible companies are SMEs with headquarters or factories located in Gyeonggi Province, whose direct export amount last year was 5 million USD or less.

Gyeonggi Province will notify applicants individually via email by the end of March after screening the applications.

Park Kyung-seo, Director of the International Trade Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "We hope that export beginner companies will have an opportunity to pioneer new overseas markets and strengthen their export capabilities through customized consulting. Gyeonggi Province will continue to support the enhancement of global competitiveness of SMEs in the province."
