The Korea Nara Market Expo is a large-scale public procurement fair to support the expansion of excellent SME products into domestic public markets and entry into overseas procurement markets.
This year, the focus of the event was on supporting innovative growth by creating public demand for new R&D products such as artificial intelligence (AI)-based civil complaint guidance systems and 3D printers and products from start-ups and venture companies.
The event will significantly expand the Innovation Growth Center and establish a technology market joint hall and a public sales center to display various innovative products such as products won by the Innovation Procurement Contest.
In addition, by establishing a digital service center and a K-quarantine center, various innovative products such as artificial intelligence suitable for the digital transformation era, cloud products, and COVID-19 diagnostic kits that showed excellent technology in K-quarantine will be introduced.
In addition, a total of 15 exhibition halls, including electric and electronic halls, office equipment, machinery and equipment halls, construction environment halls, and safety product halls, have been set up to provide an opportunity to check the latest trends in the product line of interest at a glance.
As an additional event, an online consultation meeting was held inviting overseas buyers to help companies use it as an opportunity to target the global procurement market.
43 buyers from 17 countries, including the U.S. and Chile, will participate in the event and conduct one-on-one export consultations with 147 domestic procurement companies.
Through collaboration with the Shared Growth Committee, a new type of purchase consultation called the Shared Growth Purchase PR Challenge will also be held for the first time this year.
Excellent SMEs (10) and public institutions and large companies (8) participated in the challenge.
It is an event where small and medium-sized companies challenge PR (promotion) to sell products and services to large companies and public institutions participating in shared growth.
As an international event, an international procurement workshop was also organized in which domestic and foreign procurement managers participate.
Under the theme of "innovation and inclusive public procurement," it will be held online and offline, and bilateral video conferences between Korea and East Timor will also be held to strengthen cooperation in the electronic procurement sector.
Various services and events have also been prepared for visitors.
If the name of the item of interest is designated in advance, a guide tour (visit with the guide) will be held to look around the related product exhibition hall and listen to explanations under the guidance of the venue guide.
There is also a stamp tour (watching stamping) in which prizes are presented when you stop by a pre-designated exhibition hall in the venue and collect stamps (stamping).
As this Nara Market Expo is a large-scale exhibition held in the COVID-19 situation, it will be operated as a safe fair through thorough on-site quarantine management and compliance with quarantine rules.
Kim Jung-woo, head of the Public Procurement Service, said, "As the Nara Market Expo has continued to grow, we will allow many innovative products from outstanding SMEs to enter the global procurement market as well as domestic."
