MSS Issues 3 Public Notices in 3 Days: Opens Applications for Bio Challenge and 2nd Round of Logistics Vouchers
The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) released three consecutive support program notices for startups and exporting companies over a three-day period from June 8 to 11. Announced on June 11, the 'Everyone's Challenge' for bio startups (Notice No. 2026-390) is open for applications until July 1 and operates as an open innovation project based on demand-company collaboration tasks. Following the demand-company task recruitment (closing June 11), a relay structure recruits supply companies, while the Defense Challenge (closing June 22) and AI+ OpenData Challenge are also underway. Starting June 8, the second recruitment for general logistics vouchers began, allowing exporting SMEs burdened by freight volatility and Middle East instability to apply. Prior to applying, it is essential to review the original notices, prioritize applications by impending deadlines, and check overlapping benefit restriction clauses.
