The training program covered an overview of Technical Barriers to Trade and response systems, comprehensive support activities for overseas certification, international regulations on carbon emissions, global regulations on chemical substances, and a Q&A session.


In particular, the training focused on providing practical response strategies to on-site professionals, recognizing that issues such as "carbon neutrality" and "environmental safety" are directly linked to corporate competitiveness. Company representatives responded positively, stating that they were provided with practical information to help reduce management uncertainties amid tightening environmental regulations.



Koo Choongon, head of the Gwangyang FEZ Authority, stated, "Regulatory barriers faced in export markets are difficult for companies to solve on their own, so it is important for the government to step in and establish a foundation for response." He added, "We will continue to expand customized training and support so that companies in the Gwangyang Bay Area can achieve sustainable growth in the global market."
