The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency operated the '2025 Southeast Asia Market Development Team' from the 19th to the 24th, achieving export consultation results worth 23.21 million dollars.
This Southeast Asia Market Development Team event was the first schedule of a total of five global market development team projects planned to support overseas expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the northern Gyeonggi region. It was held in Bangkok, Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
The agency provided export consultation opportunities optimized for the local market to lower barriers to overseas expansion for companies with little export experience, and supported the entire process from identifying buyers before the consultations to facilitating actual contracts.
Eight promising export-oriented SMEs participated in the market development team, including two from Namyangju, five from Paju, and one from Pocheon. These companies operate in the fields of food, consumer goods, and logistics automation equipment.

The participating companies held one-on-one export consultations with local buyers in Bangkok, Thailand on the 20th and in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on the 22nd. Through these meetings, they conducted a total of 119 export consultations, achieving results worth 23.21 million dollars.
For the operation of this market development team, the agency worked with local partner organizations such as CMS Business Consulting in Thailand and CLICK BINA CO.,LTD in Vietnam to identify buyers in advance and arrange consultation schedules.
Kang Jihoon, Executive Director of the Economic Division at the agency, stated, "Until now, SMEs in northern Gyeonggi have faced various restrictions in entering overseas markets, but this market development team has played a significant role in breaking down those barriers." He also promised, "We will continue to support northern companies in the province so they can secure competitiveness in the global market."
Starting with this Southeast Asia Market Development Team, the agency will sequentially operate market development teams in Japan in June, Oceania in July, and the second teams for Europe and Southeast Asia in September.
