This event, jointly organized by the district and the Seoul Business Agency (SBA), invites overseas buyers to introduce excellent SME products from the region and assist companies in expanding overseas. This year, the export consultation meeting will be expanded from one to two sessions, and consulting will be strengthened to significantly increase export opportunities for SMEs.

The first export consultation meeting will be held on July 16 at COEX Magok Square Ballroom (143 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu). Applications for participating companies are open until the 25th of this month. The recruitment targets SMEs in the beauty and healthcare sectors located in Gangseo-gu, with about 35 companies expected to participate.

At the consultation meeting, SMEs will promote their products directly to overseas buyers through '1:1 business matching tables' and explore new sales channels. The district will operate consultation booths on-site to support companies' export efforts and provide customized strategies to increase contract success rates. Additionally, to facilitate smooth communication between companies and buyers, company introduction materials translated into English and Chinese, as well as interpretation services, will be provided.

Companies wishing to participate can apply online through the QR code in the announcement on the district’s website (Notices/News). The SME export consultation meeting, first held last year, achieved 147 consultations and contracts worth $1.19 million (approximately 1.6 billion KRW), receiving strong positive feedback from participating companies.

Meanwhile, recruitment for the second consultation meeting, to be held on September 18 at Seoul Startup Hub Mplus (M+), will be conducted in May targeting local SMEs in the information technology (IT) and electrical and electronics sectors.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon said, "With high inflation, high interest rates, and added tariffs, SMEs are facing increasing difficulties. We hope that this overseas buyer invitation consultation meeting will help local SMEs develop overseas sales channels and lead to tangible export results."
