This project consists of programs in four areas aimed at strengthening capabilities to proactively respond to industrial structural changes such as global supply chain restructuring, digital transformation, and smartization, as well as sustainable corporate management.

First, the ‘Management Innovation Capacity Building’ program supports customized consulting for activating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management of textile companies and the establishment of environmental, safety, and energy systems to respond to the rapidly changing global industrial environment and secure corporate sustainability. It plans to recruit 10 companies for the consulting sector and 6 companies for the system establishment sector.

The ‘Digital Transformation Capacity Building’ program supports the creation of marketing content such as 3D modeling and virtual clothing through the digitization of fabric materials for new business activities following the digital transformation of the textile and fashion industry. A total of 16 companies will be recruited.

The ‘Smartization of Manufacturing Processes’ program supports productivity improvement and the establishment of optimized smart processes for each company through automation and advancement of textile manufacturing processes. It supports the introduction and aftercare of automated equipment applying advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, big data, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, recruiting a total of 10 companies.

The ‘Knit Material Uniform Development and Commercialization Support’ program develops and distributes various uniforms such as school uniforms, work uniforms, workwear, and safety clothing using knit materials produced in Gyeonggi Province. It supports the discovery of specialized materials for uniforms and the production of customized high-performance uniforms reflecting the characteristics of demand sectors.

Companies wishing to participate in the project can apply by April 11th by referring to the announcement on the website of the executing organization, the Gyeonggi Textile Industry Association, or the Gyeonggi Business Secretary website.

Jeon Eun-sook, Director of Corporate Development at Gyeonggi Province, said, “Although textile companies in the province are facing many difficulties due to decreased demand caused by the recent global economic slowdown and the stagnation of the livelihood economy, we will actively support overcoming the crisis through this project,” and added, “We ask for the active participation and interest of companies aspiring to become global leading textile companies.”
