On September 8, the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency signed a business agreement with the KOTITI Testing & Research Institute to enhance the technological competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the province and support their entry into global markets.

This agreement was initiated to swiftly resolve the challenges faced by local companies regarding testing, analysis, and compliance with standards, and to systematically provide information and consulting required during the export preparation stage.

Through these efforts, it is expected that companies in the province will be able to secure the reliability of their products, respond to international standards, regulations, and ESG requirements, and expand the scope of global joint cooperation.

The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency plans to continue discovering technology startups, connecting them with funding, resolving technological challenges, supporting commercialization, and providing sales and export packages. KOTITI's strategy is to increase the overseas success rate of local companies by advancing global standard compliance and quality in the fields of testing, analysis, and certification.

Kim Hyungon, President of the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency, said, "We will accelerate the resolution of on-site certification and standards issues and systematically share information on overseas regulations and market trends to strengthen companies' export readiness. Furthermore, by continuously cooperating with external professional organizations, we will operate a one-stop system that connects consulting, education, testing, and certification, thereby realizing the scaling up and global competitiveness of SMEs in the province."
