The South Korean Government’s plans for post-COVID-19 recovery include two pillars – the Green New Deal and the Digital New Deal. The Government aims to lead digital transition with the Digital New Deal by investing 23.4 trillion KRW from the second half of 2020 to 2022; and 58.2 trillion KRW by 2025 to create 903,000 new jobs by 2025.

The scheme includes providing remote working infrastructure and consulting services to small-and-medium-sized enterprises having difficulties from cost-bearing or inexperience and build shared video conference facilities at key areas where SMEs are concentrated. Moreover, helps micro-enterprises raise their competitiveness by supporting them with access to e-commerce channels and providing smart business spaces and manufacturing facilities in response to the increase of intact services and digitization.
