K-Procurement...Finding Export Solutions in the Oceania Procurement Market

- 12 procurement companies participating, bilateral meeting with Australian Federal Treasury to strengthen government cooperation

The Public Procurement Service (PPS) will participate in the 'Sydney Build EXPO 2024' in Sydney, Australia from May 1 to 2, to support Korean SMEs with promising overseas expansion to enter the Australian and Oceania markets.

This is the first time that PPS has sent an economic mission to the Australian and Oceania procurement markets.

The Sydney Build Expo, Australia's largest construction EXPO, will be attended by outstanding procurement companies that have been recognized for their technology. These companies will seek opportunities to enter the Australian procurement market through export consultations with local buyers.

PPS will organize a joint pavilion with 12 SMEs producing eco-friendly building materials such as interior finishes and insulation paints at the fair. This initiative aims to promote the technology of excellent companies that have already proven themselves in the domestic procurement market.

The visit to Australia will also serve to strengthen the procurement cooperation system with the Australian government.

PPS will hold a cooperation meeting with the Australian Federal Treasury and visit the installation site of the 'cotton luminescent road sign' supplied to Melbourne through an overseas demonstration of innovative products last year with Melbourne local government officials.

Kim Eung Keol, Director General of Planning and Coordination of PPS, stated, “Participating in this exhibition is our first attempt to enter the procurement market in Oceania, and it is a great achievement to build a network of cooperative relationships with the Australian Federal Treasury and Melbourne local government officials,” and added, “We will continue to support excellent procurement companies with proven technology in Korea in various ways to challenge their entry into various overseas procurement markets.”
