Gyeonggi Province is recruiting 80 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the province to participate in an exhibition to be held in Penang, Malaysia this November.
On July 13, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will be accepting applications from 80 promising SMEs until July 31 to participate in "K BRAND WEEK 2025," which will take place at PWCC in Penang from November 20 to 22.
K BRAND WEEK is an event that invites buyers from major Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia to participate in export consultation meetings. It also hosts an international academic conference in parallel, providing companies with opportunities to expand globally.
Penang, Malaysia, is a region where advanced industrial complexes and medical device clusters are concentrated, making it a favorable location for domestic manufacturers to export. The area is also equipped with logistics infrastructure such as Penang Port and an international airport, allowing for a variety of export strategies, including the export of intermediate goods and parts.
In particular, Malaysia is playing a key role as a global supply chain hub due to its government-led smart manufacturing innovation policy.
Park Kyungseo, Director of International Trade at Gyeonggi Province, said, "This exhibition will be a great opportunity for Gyeonggi SMEs to diversify their export markets amid the ongoing global trade war," adding, "Gyeonggi Province will do its utmost to help companies pioneer new export channels and revitalize the local economy."
Companies wishing to participate can apply through the exhibition website (kbrandweek.com).
