Hanyuwon Holds 'Small Business Distribution Platform MD Consultation Sessions' at KINTEX
Consultation sessions to be held alongside G-FAIR on Oct. 29-30
MDs from Musinsa, Kakao, SSG and other platforms to take part
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Small Business Distribution Center said on the 29th that they are holding the 2026 Small Business Distribution Platform MD Consultation Sessions in different regions to help small businesses enter major retail channels.
On October 29-30, a consultation session will be held at KINTEX in conjunction with G-FAIR KOREA 2026, a trade show for outstanding Korean products hosted by Gyeonggi-do and organized by the Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator.
About 100 MDs from major retail platforms, including Musinsa, Kakao and SSG, will take part in the sessions. They will provide one-on-one consultations tailored to about 300 small businesses exhibiting at G-FAIR. The sessions aim to establish a practical stepping stone for outstanding small businesses to enter major retail channels.
The 2026 Small Business Distribution Platform MD Consultation Sessions were organized to expand opportunities for small businesses in regional areas to meet MDs from retail platforms, which are concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area. The sessions are being held in partnership with local governments in major regions across the country, with the annual goal of holding 20 sessions and supporting 2,000 small businesses.
As of September, the sessions had been held in 11 regions in cooperation with 17 local governments and related organizations. A total of 13 sessions had taken place, giving 1,250 small businesses the opportunity to meet MDs from major retailers. Of the participating small businesses, 97.2% said they were "satisfied" with the consultations.
Hanyuwon plans to strengthen its cooperation with major platforms so that the sessions lead to actual business deals, including new vendor onboarding and direct-purchase contracts.
