[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City in Gyeongnam is pioneering online sales channels for excellent local products in cooperation with TMON.

On the 30th, the city signed a business agreement with the e-commerce company TMON in the city hall meeting room to support online sales of excellent local products.

According to the agreement, TMON will establish a commerce academy based on its accumulated operations and experience in the online platform sector and support the development of sales channels for local small business products using live commerce.

In addition, TMON plans to sell Changwon's excellent products on its platform and provide essential training courses to local small business owners to activate digital commerce sales, thereby offering practical help in developing sales channels for local products.

The city plans to apply for related government public projects and secure national budget based on this cooperative relationship.

Jang Yoon-seok, CEO of TMON, said, "We will strive to coexist with small business owners by expanding their online sales channels," and added, "We will do our best to fulfill the company's social responsibility by establishing a continuous cooperative relationship with the city."

Mayor Heo Seong-moo said, "Based on TMON's rich experience, which has great strengths in content commerce, we expect it to pass on various secrets to local small business owners."

Meanwhile, as the first project under the business agreement, the city and TMON will promote 'Living in Changwon for a Month' within this year. TMON MDs and creators will live in Changwon for a month and produce video content documenting the process of discovering hidden local products.
