Ministry of SMEs and Startups to Support SME Innovative Products Entering the Public Market

59 SMEs and 45 Public Institutions to Participate
Showcasing Innovative Products and Facilitating Public Procurement Opportunities

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 25th that it will host the "2025 Innovative Products and SME Technology Market Public Institution Matching Day" to help small and medium-sized enterprises enter the public procurement market.

This event will be held on the 26th at Exhibition Hall 1 of the Daejeon Convention Center. Approximately 260 people are expected to attend, including representatives from 59 SMEs with innovative products and 45 public institutions.

Since 2020, the Ministry has been identifying products with outstanding public value and innovation among SME R&D outcomes, designating them as innovative products, and supporting direct contracts and pilot purchases with public institutions.

At this event, two companies (Safeware and CCT Research Institute), selected among the top 50 innovative product companies for excellent SME R&D achievements, will present their success stories. In addition, eight innovative companies whose products were most preferred during the advance demand survey by participating public institutions will introduce their products.

The core of this event, the 1:1 purchase consultation session, will provide in-depth meetings between public institution procurement managers and participating companies, based on demand submitted in advance by the companies.

A Ministry official stated, "We expect this event will provide SMEs with an effective opportunity to promote the technology and strengths of their products, while public institutions will be able to purchase innovative products and improve the quality of public services."
