GTEP사업단, 지역기업 24곳과 수출지원 업무협약
Cooperation agreement signed between JNU-GTEP and 24 Jeju-based exporters

Jeju National University’s Global Trade Experts Incubating Program (JNU-GTEP) signed an agreement with Southeast Agricultural Corporation for industry-academy cooperation on improving export sales on Thursday (May 20).

Throughout May this year, the JNU-GTEP concluded a similar bilateral agreement with 24 businesses on Jeju Island for the purposes of incubating trade experts and creating international distribution channels.

Jeju-based exporters have striven to increase the volume of their exports over the past years. Despite their outstanding technologies, many of them have experienced difficulties creating international distribution channels due to the lack of trade experts.

Under the recent agreements, the JNU-GTEP will train talented individuals to build capabilities required for trade experts, so that businesses can create more export opportunities with the young export leaders. It also plans to discover other enthusiastic export businesses on Jeju Island and sign more agreements with them.

The university-led institution will be funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to run Korea International Trade Association’s programs to train global marketing and e-commerce specialists. A JNU-GTEP official said that the small and medium-scale businesses will receive support for export consultation meetings held in Korea and overseas and for communication in foreign languages when looking for buyers and distribution channels in international markets.

Businesses with inquiries are asked to contact the JNU-GTEP by phone (064-754-3198).
