The Center for Comprehensive Support for Enterprises for the Disabled (Chairman Park Maru, hereinafter referred to as the Center) announced that it will recruit 10 participating companies for the 'Vietnam Market Development Group' and 10 participating companies for the 'Overseas IR (Hong Kong) Support Project' until May 9 to support the expansion of export markets and overseas investment attraction (IR) for enterprises for the disabled.
The 'Market Development Team' is a program that supports overseas sales expansion by dispatching disabled companies to promising export countries through local buyer consultations and market research. It achieved export contracts worth $3.52 million in Vietnam and Thailand in 2023 and $3.76 million in Kazakhstan in 2024.
The 2025 market development team plans to visit Vietnam (Hanoi), the fastest growing country in Southeast Asia with an average annual economic growth rate of 6-7%.
Participating companies will be provided with practical support for local business activities, including ▲50% support for round-trip airfare per person (economy standard), ▲provision of local consultation space and group transportation vehicle, ▲1:1 export consultation with pre-matched buyers, and ▲assignment of interpreters for each company.
The 'Overseas IR (Hong Kong) Support Project' is a project that supports the strengthening of investment attraction capabilities and participation in local demonstrations (Demo Day) for disabled companies. Following Singapore in 2024, this year the project will be carried out in Hong Kong, the world's fourth largest financial hub.
Participating companies will be provided with various programs, including ▲50% support for round-trip airfare per person (economy standard), ▲production of promotional materials for investors and advice on presentations, ▲online pre-demonstration and overseas mentoring, ▲visit to local start-up incubation organizations (accelerators), ▲buyer-linked business consultations, and ▲demonstrations for local investors.
Applications for participation can be made by mail, in person, or via e-mail. Detailed information, including documents to be submitted, can be found on the Center’s website’s Notice Board → Business Announcement Board. However, applications for both the Market Development Team and the Overseas IR Support Project cannot be submitted simultaneously.
Park Maru, the director of the Comprehensive Support Center for Disabled Enterprises, said, “We will actively support disabled enterprises with innovative technologies so that they can grow into global companies,” and “This year, we will go beyond simple entry into overseas markets and strengthen support for attracting investment and localization so that they can have actual competitiveness in overseas markets.”
