The World Congress of Korean Industries opened in Vienna, Austria, to strengthen the global network of Korean businessmen and seek export routes for small and medium-sized enterprises.

'Korea Business Expo' was also held, and 60 small and medium-sized companies participated in Gyeonggi Province to show off their technology.

The World Korean Business Conference, which was held in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province last year, moved to Austria in Europe this year.

Even though it was the first competition in Europe, more than 3,000 people from 71 countries gathered to show off their power.

[Kim Dong-yeon/ Governor of Gyeonggi Province: It's very meaningful to have a World Octa General Assembly like this in Europe. I hope we can say hello to many people and have a warm time. Everyone, I'm rooting for you. And I love you.]

The highlight is the "Korea Business Expo" held as a side event.

More than 300 small and medium-sized companies in Korea, which rarely got a chance to tap into the European market despite their high technology, threw their hat in the ring, with 60 companies participating in Gyeonggi Province alone.

Gyeonggi-do Province's booth installation cost, transportation cost, and interpretation cost support were a big help.

In the event of a crash, the built-in detection sensor in the work suit immediately inflates the airbag to protect the head or spine.

The company makes Tritan-based multi-use containers that can be recycled without environmental hormones, and has four related patents alone.

[Kim Yoon-sung / CEO of eco-friendly multi-use container manufacturer: I participated with the hope that eco-friendly products will be loved not only in Korea but also around the world]

More than 200 buyers from Austria, Hungary, and Germany visited the fair for heated consultations.

[Anton Pillinger/ Austrian buyer: I was very moved to see the high-tech electronic devices here. I will try to make it available for Austria.]

Gyeonggi Province plans to create and operate an online export support platform so that small and medium-sized business products and overseas buyer consultations can take place at all times.
