-PPS’ Vice Administrator stating that overseas demonstration of Innovative Products   is a reliable support system leading to exports

The delegates of the Public Procurement Service(PPS) of the Republic of Korea on their visit to Indonesia and Thailand between June 18 and June 20, 2024, checked the progress of the pilot purchase program though overseas demonstration for government-designated Innovative Products and explored ways to expand the nation’s exports.

The pilot purchase program is to encourage overseas public recipient entities to test use Korea’s Innovative Products purchased by PPS, thereby verifying their performance and quality.

On June 18, the delegates from PPS and Korea Midland Power visited the Cirebon Power Plant in Indonesia. They signed an MOU to facilitate the overseas expansion of Innovative Products related to power plant equipment and held a meeting with Innovative Product suppliers.

Through this MOU, the two organizations agreed to collaborate on overseas testing of Innovative Products and to promote pilot purchase programs for power plant equipment, aiming to support the global expansion of Korea’s technologically-proven Innovative Products

Korea Midland Power currently manages operations for 12 overseas power plants in five countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, the United States, Sweden, and Spain. This arrangement is expected to expand the overseas testing program for power plant equipment.

The Cirebon Power Plant is currently operating the "Swing Blind Valve," an Innovative Product that allows easy opening and closing for cleaning dust reduction devices without disassembling surrounding equipment. This is part of the overseas demonstration program.

Following Indonesia, PPS’ Vice Administrator Baek Seung-bo visited Thailand between June 19 and June 20 to meet with high-level officials of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration(BMA) and of the Royal Thai Police. They discussed cooperation plans for the pilot purchase program of front and rear recognition CCTV systems.

BMA is considering introducing these CCTV systems to strengthen enforcement against traffic violations that cause chronic congestion. The performance of these products will be tested through the overseas demonstration program.

Vice Administrator Baek Seung-bo stated, "The overseas testing pilot purchase program is a definitive and direct support system for exports, as it connects overseas trial use with verified performance and quality to export opportunities. We expect it to serve as a robust driver for the global expansion of Innovative Products.“

Meanwhile, last year's pilot purchase program, with a budget of KRW 1.2 billion, served as a bridgehead for the global expansion of Korean Innovative Products. This year, the program's budget has been significantly increased to KRW 7 billion to further promote this effort.
