This year’s Global Small Giants receive benefits of up to 30 million KRW, while those selected in 2021 receive up to 10 million KRW in support.

This year, nine selected companies and six companies selected in 2021 have been carrying out the support program since July, and plan to complete the program by the end of October, followed by results and evaluation around November.

Ha In-seong, President of Gyeongbuk Technopark, stated, “I hope that through the Global Small Giant Regional Autonomy Program, local small and medium-sized enterprises with innovation and growth potential will have the opportunity to grow into companies leading export markets and regional economic growth.”
