The Defense Acquisition Agency will hold a Customized Consulting Day for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the defense sector on September 21 at the Grand Ballroom A of Songdo Convensia in Incheon. The event will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This initiative aims to enhance access to information on support programs for defense SMEs and address on-site challenges. The event was organized in response to feedback indicating that SMEs find it difficult to access information about defense support programs. The goal is to introduce key support systems in one place and assist companies from confirming eligibility requirements to preparing applications through tailored consultations.
The event will feature a presentation on support programs for defense SMEs, followed by one-on-one consultations at various booths. The Defense Science Research Institute, the Defense Technology Promotion Institute, and Incheon Metropolitan City are collaborating on this initiative.
The consultation booths will cover four areas: defense promotion projects, defense technology development, export and financing, and regulations and challenges, comprising a total of 13 booths. In the defense promotion and technology development areas, information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for interested projects will be provided.
The export and financing area will offer consultations on international cooperation, offset trade, fund investment, and interest compensation systems, while the regulations and challenges area will address difficulties faced by companies, such as contract systems and export permits.
Participating companies can freely visit booths of interest for consultations. Each booth will be staffed by personnel from the Defense Acquisition Agency and specialized operating organizations to provide tailored advice based on individual company circumstances.
Companies wishing to participate can access the registration page via the QR code on the event poster and pre-register their attendee information. On-site registration will also be available on the day of the event.
Lee Hyung-seok, Director of the Defense Industry Promotion Bureau at the Defense Acquisition Agency, stated, "This consulting day was organized to ensure that defense SMEs do not miss out on necessary support due to a lack of information. The purpose of this event is to listen closely to the challenges faced by companies and provide direct assistance in resolving those issues."
The Defense Acquisition Agency plans to continue regular consulting days to maintain communication with the field.
