[소셜밸류=박완규 기자] On the 15th, Diiver, an integrated merchandise platform, announced that it has been designated as a ‘Hi Seoul Brand’ this year.
The Hi Seoul Brand is a flagship program of the Seoul Business Agency. It offers various benefits to designated promising mid-sized companies, including the use of the brand identity, B2B cooperation opportunities, support for global expansion, and consultation and training provided by a government agency. Companies are selected by the Seoul Metropolitan Government based on an evaluation of their growth potential, profitability, and global competitiveness.
This year, approximately 461 companies applied for the ‘Hi Seoul Brand’, and 100 were selected, making a 4.6-to-1 competition.
Established in 2020, Diiver has introduced digital innovations to address complex outsourcing management and inefficient communication in the merchandise market.
The achievements and distinctiveness of building a one-stop platform that enables efficient merchandise planning, production, quality inspection and global delivery played a key role for securing its designation.
Building on its designation, Diiver aims to expand partnerships both domestically and internationally by actively leveraging advantages such as the official use of brand identity, global expansion support and B2B cooperation programs and to strengthen its position in the merchandise market.
Meanwhile, Diiver successfully secured funding by being selected for the ‘future-value linked’ investment program by Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. Based on the investment, it will continue follow-on VC funding, and offer a new standard for ‘Merchandise Branding Solution’ centered on K-culture intellectual property.
