South Korea Hosts Networking Event for Growing SMEs in 'Jump-up' Program

South Korea's Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) and the Small and Medium Business Corporation (SMBC) hosted a 'Networking Day' event to foster collaboration and gather feedback from companies participating in the second cohort of the 'Jump-up' program. The two-day event was held at the SMBC Gangwon Training Center in Taebaek, Gangwon Province.

The 'Jump-up' program is a key initiative designed to support the growth of established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies that have been in operation for at least seven years. Over a three-year period, participating companies receive comprehensive support, including specialized business directing, funding for commercialization, networking opportunities, and connections to relevant government policies.

This networking event specifically aimed to enhance exchange and build connections among the second cohort of 'Jump-up' program participants. By bringing together these promising businesses, the MSS and SMBC aim to create a dynamic ecosystem where companies can share insights, forge partnerships, and collectively drive innovation and growth within the SME sector.
