Korean SMEs seek export opportunities in Vietnam

The Korea Federation of SMEs is facilitating international business expansion for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from South Korea by organizing a business matching event in Hanoi, Vietnam. The '2026 Daejeon-Sejong Vietnam Business Partnership Matching Day' brings together 14 SMEs from the Daejeon and Sejong regions to explore new overseas markets.

The event, scheduled from June 18 to 19, is a collaborative effort aimed at helping these local companies establish footholds in the Vietnamese market. It is jointly hosted by Daejeon Metropolitan City and Sejong Special Self-Governing City, with the Daejeon Job Promotion Agency, the Korea Federation of SMEs, and TJB Daejeon Broadcasting serving as co-organizers.

This initiative underscores the growing importance of Vietnam as a key market for South Korean SMEs seeking to diversify their sales channels and increase exports. By providing a platform for direct engagement with potential Vietnamese partners, the event aims to foster mutually beneficial business relationships and drive economic growth for the participating companies.

The focus on SMEs from Daejeon and Sejong highlights regional efforts to support local businesses in navigating the complexities of international trade. The program is designed to provide practical assistance in market entry and business development, thereby enhancing the global competitiveness of these enterprises.
