Somyung Lee, nominee for Minister of SMEs and Startups, plans to implement policies that utilize AI to measure the growth potential of SMEs and focus support on companies with high growth prospects. Through revisions to the existing support system, early-stage startups and small businesses will continue to receive support through conventional methods, while customized support will be provided to SMEs in emerging growth sectors. Additionally, she intends to promote NDA mandates and strengthen technology data protection measures to prevent technology theft. To diversify the venture capital recovery market, she proposed expanding M&A activities and revising tax and regulatory frameworks.
