The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency announced on July 19 that they will hold the second round of recruitment for companies to participate in the "2026 Online Export Platform Project Gobiz Export Support" from July 20 to 31, until 6 p.m.

This project supports the establishment of infrastructure to help domestic SMEs expand their online exports by leveraging "Gobiz Korea," the online business-to-business (B2B) platform that the agency has operated since 1996.

The program is open to SMEs wishing to conduct B2B exports online. In this second recruitment, approximately 50 companies will be selected through a document review process in the "foundation building" sector, which focuses on strengthening export fundamentals for long-term self-reliance. Companies wishing to participate can apply via the Gobiz Korea website.

Selected companies will receive comprehensive support for building online export infrastructure in the early stages. Support includes: ▲setup of product pages and corporate mini-sites for promotion within Gobiz Korea ▲production of product promotional videos ▲creation of English proposals and catalogues ▲search engine marketing ▲support for discovering and matching with overseas buyers ▲practical trade work assistance, among others. SMEs will also benefit from reduced commission fees and support for establishing their own independent platforms.

The Korea SMEs and Startups Agency is also running the "Export Contract Response Support Project," which allows anyone to register products on Gobiz Korea and carry out B2B online exports directly. When purchase requests from overseas buyers are received, registered companies can receive practical support from trade experts for tasks such as validating requests and reviewing contracts. Applications will be accepted until the end of November.

Sukjin Kang, President of the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, stated, "Through Gobiz Korea and a diverse array of support initiatives, we aim to provide a strong digital export foundation to help Korean SMEs achieve self-reliance in the global market."
