Incheon SME market expansion initiatives

Overview

Incheon Metropolitan City is implementing various initiatives to support the expansion and market entry of local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

In early October 2026, the city focused on international expansion by supporting 25 local companies—spanning the beauty, general goods, and food sectors—at the 30th World-OKTA Convention in Shenzhen, China. This effort aimed to leverage global interest in K-beauty and K-food to secure new export channels.

Later in the month, the city’s support shifted toward the domestic public procurement market. Through a consultation fair held at Songdo Convensia, 50 local companies engaged in one-on-one sessions with 13 public institutions. These consultations resulted in approximately 1.3 billion won in performance and included policy advisory services and training on government bidding systems.
