Incheon Metropolitan City is implementing various economic support measures to bolster local businesses and high-tech industries.

To support small businesses and revitalize local economies, the city is considering adjustments to its local currency, Incheon e-Eum. This includes maintaining a 10% cashback rate while lowering the monthly usage limit from 1,000,000 won to 500,000 won starting in October. Officials aim to optimize the economic multiplier effect and prevent high-income earners from disproportionately benefiting through large, pre-paid expenses.

Simultaneously, the city is expanding support for high-tech and job-creating enterprises. Through the ‘Incheon Growth Fund 4th’, the city is providing strategic investment to advanced companies, such as the logistics automation firm Speedfloor. Furthermore, Incheon has recognized 34 local companies as excellent job creators and high-quality manufacturing enterprises, offering them two years of incentives including R&D support, export assistance, and preferential treatment for management stability funds.
