Uiwang City Selected for Online Video Conference Room Construction Project

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 15th that it has been finally selected for the 'Online Shared Video Conference Room Construction Project' led by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

The 'Online Shared Video Conference Room Construction Project' is an initiative to create digital business infrastructure that SMEs and venture companies can utilize in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, and will be installed with full national government funding support.

The online video conference room, to be installed in the main conference hall within Uiwang City's Poil Eoulim Center, can accommodate up to 25 users and will be equipped with large monitors, electronic whiteboards, cameras, and video conferencing software, providing support for video meetings and online export consultations for companies in the city.

The city has made efforts to be selected for this project by recognizing that companies within the city have lacked specialized video conference facilities and needed to establish safe meeting spaces in preparation for COVID-19.

The city expects the online video conference room to help companies within the city achieve higher export performance through overseas market development and domestic online consultation support.

Mayor Kim Sang-don stated, "As the COVID-19 era has arrived, non-face-to-face business activities utilizing digital technology are increasing significantly," and added, "We hope this online video conference room will be helpful for the growth and market development of small and medium enterprises, and we will continue to prepare various support projects that can assist business activities."
