On November 25, Jindo County in South Jeolla Province signed a "Mutual Prosperity Sisterhood Agreement for Revitalizing Local Communities" with the Small and Medium Business Venture Research Institute (President Cho Joohyun), officially launching cooperation for local economic revitalization and mutual growth.


This agreement reflects the commitment of both institutions to jointly collaborate in establishing a sustainable foundation for the local economy and responding to the crisis of regional depopulation.


Under the agreement, the Small and Medium Business Venture Research Institute will provide practical support, including: ▲ donating 3 million won in Onnuri gift certificates to vulnerable groups ▲ hosting institutional events ▲ encouraging employees to visit during vacation seasons ▲ prioritizing the purchase of local specialty products ▲ supporting the industrialization of K-food ▲ offering consulting to local businesses.


Jindo County plans to actively support the smooth exchange between the two institutions by sharing various local information, such as specialty products, tourist attractions, and accommodation facilities, with the institute.


Kim Heesu, Governor of Jindo County, stated, "By combining Jindo County's abundant local resources with the institute's expertise, we have established a foundation to drive local economic revitalization," adding, "We will systematically industrialize Jindo's food culture and tourism resources to create a model case for regional revitalization."



Meanwhile, Jindo County plans to use this agreement as a starting point to promote various initiatives for sustainable regional recovery and vitality, such as expanding sales channels for local specialty products, strengthening support for small business owners, and discovering projects that link the tourism industry.
