[Asia Economy (Bucheon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] On the 7th, the Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation held a meeting for female startup CEOs to form a network among women entrepreneurs at Kkum Maru within the Women's Capability Development Headquarters of the foundation located in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.

The meeting was attended by about 60 people, including Foundation CEO Chae I-bae, Women's Capability Development Headquarters Director Hong Chun-hee, and representatives of resident and graduated companies within the foundation's Women's Capability Development Headquarters.

The foundation organized this event to foster bonds and facilitate the exchange of information and experiences among the supported resident startup companies and graduated company representatives.

During the event, senior and junior companies that received startup support from the foundation were grouped by industry to connect senior mentors with junior mentees. The program included sharing management difficulties faced by CEOs of early-stage startups, sharing experiences of overcoming challenges by senior companies, and one-on-one mentoring sessions.

Additionally, a psychological education program to support stress management for budding entrepreneurs was conducted, featuring a vision neon sign-making workshop.

Foundation CEO Chae I-bae emphasized, "The foundation provides tailored support at each growth stage, from the One-Person Creative Enterprise Support Center to the Startup Incubation Center, Northern Startup Support Office, and Startup Growth Center, targeting women-owned businesses from prospective startups to those within seven years of establishment. We will actively strive to create more jobs through startups and lead a virtuous cycle in the local startup ecosystem."

The foundation's Women's Capability Development Headquarters has been implementing various projects since 1997 to improve women's economic and social status and expand social participation through support for women's employment and entrepreneurship.
