The SME Sharing Festa is a large-scale sharing culture festival that collects voluntary donation items from the SME sector and delivers warmth to marginalized groups in local communities. Over 300 SMEs participated in donating goods. Approximately 150,000 daily necessities, children’s books, kitchenware, and more filled the venue.

At the opening ceremony, donations were presented by SME CEOs and industry- and region-based SME cooperatives. Additionally, an auction of cherished items was held featuring prominent figures such as National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Minister of SMEs and Startups Oh Young-joo, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon, as well as famous celebrities and sports stars.

Kim Ki-moon, Chairman of the Federation of SMEs, said, “The SME Sharing Festa is a festival of sharing that promotes the sales of excellent SME products to revitalize the sluggish consumption atmosphere, and the costs consumers spend on purchases become support funds for love sharing for marginalized local communities. We will continue to provide wholehearted support so that the foundation can carry out various social contribution projects together with local communities.”
