According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, 'Space Sallim' was built near Exit 3 of Daebang Station, spanning from two basement floors to seven above ground. It is comparable in size to Gwanghwamun Square, with a total floor area of 17,957㎡. Although completed in October last year, its official opening was postponed due to COVID-19.
The facility is equipped with various amenities to support the simultaneous growth of women's work and life. It includes an elementary care facility called Our Neighborhood Care Center, a part-time care center for infants and toddlers, a shared kitchen, as well as spaces for content production, education, and a startup hub with promotional and sales areas to support female entrepreneurship.
Currently, 97 companies, including female startup businesses and companies with women-related items, are tenants.
On this day, Acting Mayor Seo will tour the various facilities within Space Sallim. He will also hold a meeting with tenant companies to directly explain Seoul's startup support and care policies and listen to their opinions.
