The state-run Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) is seeing tangible results, such as inking format deals with overseas producers and winning awards, through its support for small and medium-sized production companies struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the coronavirus, broadcasting production has gone through hardships more than ever. But despite the circumstances, I extend my respect to the local small and medium-sized production companies for showing a glowing success, Lee Do-hyeong, head of the Broadcasting Division at KOCCA, said in a statement.

The government will invest a total of 10 billion won ($8.7 million) this year to support content startups, the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) announced Wednesday.
Divided into six tracks, KOCCA s program aims to provide financial and production support to startups at different stages ― pre-stage, early stage (less than three years since its founding), mid-stage (three to seven years since its founding) and companies that are restarting ― through professional consulting, business matching and marketing services.
One of the main focuses of this year s program is the role that content startups can play in the Digital New Deal, the government s initiative for the digital economy. Accordingly, the agency has specified some program categories to support social ventures, startups specializing in digitization and innovative technology in response to the contactless boom.
