The Korea Small and Medium Enterprises Distribution Agency, under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, is hosting the '2026 Sales Consultation Conference' at BEXCO in Busan until September 18. This event aims to assist small and venture businesses in entering the public procurement market.
According to Han Yuwon on September 15, the conference is designed to connect public institutions and large companies with demand for public procurement products to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the climate and energy sectors that possess technological capabilities.
Participating in the event are 110 SMEs from the climate and energy sectors seeking to enter the public procurement market, along with 53 large companies and public institutions, including Hyundai Steel and LG Chem, interested in purchasing their products. The participating companies and institutions will be matched one-on-one based on their preferences and needs, allowing SMEs to engage in purchasing consultations for up to 25 minutes each, with a maximum of seven consultations per day over three days, totaling 21 consultations.
Meanwhile, the International Climate Industry Expo is a global event co-hosted by the Ministry of Climate Energy Environment, the International Energy Agency (IEA), and the World Bank, aimed at addressing the climate crisis and promoting decarbonization. Since 2024, Han Yuwon has been supporting the entry of SMEs in the climate and energy sectors into the public procurement market in conjunction with the expo.
Lee Tae-sik, CEO of Han Yuwon, stated, "I hope this event will greatly assist SMEs in developing new markets, and we will continue to discover and plan various events that enable SMEs from different sectors to enter the public procurement market."
