This event was organized to provide information on the exhibition schedule and important guidelines, as well as to identify potential difficulties in advance, ahead of Namyangju City's group booth participation in the third phase of the 2026 Canton Fair Spring Session, which will take place in Guangzhou, China this May.

The event was attended by a total of about 20 participants, including 12 representatives from companies participating in the group booth, 3 officials from the Gyeonggi Business and Science Accelerator, and officials from the city. During the event, companies with outstanding achievements in previous overseas exhibitions participated to share their experiences and know-how. In addition, the city introduced its 2026 support programs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), presenting a variety of policies that companies can utilize.

The city is supporting the group booth program for overseas exhibitions by providing booth rental fees, 80% of booth setup costs, interpretation services (one interpreter per company), and one-way shipping costs for exhibits. This year, 11 local SMEs in various fields—including food, cosmetics, crafts, and household goods—will participate to reduce export-related expenses and expand overseas marketing opportunities.

The city expects that participation in the group booth will help local companies develop overseas markets and strengthen their global competitiveness.

Joo Gwangdeok, Mayor of Namyangju City, stated, "The overseas exhibition group booth program is a support initiative to enhance the export competitiveness of SMEs. We will continue to actively incorporate company feedback and pursue the program in ways that provide practical assistance."

Meanwhile, the Canton Fair, held twice a year, is the largest consumer goods exhibition in China, and the third phase of the Spring Session is scheduled to take place from May 1 to May 5.
