Customized B2B support combining years of GobizKorea DB and trade experts' know-how

Continuous provision of one-stop close support from buyer discovery to inquiry response and contract conclusion

The Korea SMEs and Startups Agency (hereinafter referred to as KOSME) is strongly supporting the global market pioneering of excellent domestic small and medium-sized venture enterprises this year as well, through the 'BMS (Business Matchmaking Service) Overseas Buyer Matchmaking Project,' a core export support program that has been successfully led for many years.

The 'BMS Overseas Buyer Matchmaking Project' is a program that has been operated for a long time and proven effective for companies struggling to export due to a lack of overseas networks or professional marketing personnel despite possessing excellent products. Its core competitiveness lies in precisely discovering and matching target buyers suitable for each company's product characteristics, based on the vast database of verified buyers accumulated over 30 years since 1996 on 'GobizKorea,' a representative online B2B platform operated by KOSME.

Companies selected for this project are assigned a dedicated trade expert (T/A) with extensive export experience on a 1:1 basis. Through this, they receive one-stop close support across the entire trade process, including:

Target market analysis and promising buyer discovery

Translation and dispatch of English inquiries

Communication support such as correspondence and negotiation with buyers

Final export contract conclusion

In particular, this project does not stop at providing a one-time buyer list; it has undergone continuous advancement over several years so that participating companies can directly and smoothly communicate with buyers and lead to tangible export contracts. Not only does it break down practical language barriers so that companies can move proactively in the global market, but it also provides multifaceted support that meticulously considers all necessary matters, including essential activity fees for deploying marketing.

A project official stated, "As the know-how and success cases of the BMS project steadily conducted over several years have accumulated, it is serving as a definitive global business guide for companies hesitating to expand overseas." They added, "We will continue to spare no effort in supporting infrastructure and professional personnel so that domestic K-brands can create successful cross-border achievements on the global stage."
