Free Operation of 'Startup Studio' for Women Entrepreneurs in Songpa-gu

Support for promotional material shooting in an 11-pyeong space at Songpa Women's Career Connection Center... From costly professional equipment to YouTube production training

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will operate a shared space called ‘Startup Studio’ from March 15, where female entrepreneurs can shoot promotional materials for free to secure initial competitiveness.

‘Startup Studio’ is a space where female prospective or early-stage entrepreneurs can produce various media content they need. It is set up within the Songpa Women’s Career Connection Center, covering an area of 11 pyeong, and is equipped with professional equipment for product shooting such as cameras, shooting backdrops, lighting, laptops, and tables.

In particular, a DSLR camera worth approximately 1.2 million KRW is provided in the studio for free use.

The DSLR camera is useful for early entrepreneurs as it can shoot everything from product photos to videos, but it is also an expensive piece of equipment relative to its usage frequency.

Accordingly, the district installed Photoshop software on the laptops along with the camera, enabling shooting and editing in one place.

The district also provides education on product shooting and YouTube production methods for beginners in promotional material creation.

Anyone who resides in or has a business in Songpa-gu and is a prospective or early-stage entrepreneur can use the facility.

Reservations and inquiries can be made through the Songpa Women’s Career Connection Center website or by phone.

Additionally, the district operates a ‘Startup Support Office’ for female entrepreneurs at the Songpa Women’s Career Connection Center, providing office space.

The Startup Support Office consists of three spaces: a collaborative office for one-person companies and independent offices for 3 to 5 people. It can be used at a low cost ranging from 10,000 KRW to 120,000 KRW per month.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “Although the importance of women’s economic activities is emphasized and the number of startup cases is gradually increasing, support projects for female entrepreneurs are not diverse. We will actively support women to continue their economic activities confidently through startups without career breaks by discovering various projects from pre-startup education to competitiveness enhancement.”
