The program is scheduled to take place every Tuesday for six weeks starting from the 5th of next month at the Snowflake Plaza of Sookmyung Women’s University.

‘AI Startup School with Seoul’ is an interactive educational program jointly organized by Seoul City and Google to foster early-stage and prospective entrepreneurs in the AI sector, a key future industry. It is a specialized AI segment of the ‘Startup School’ run by the entrepreneur community ‘Google Startup Campus’ created by Google, and this is the first time the event is held at the city level in Seoul.

Previously, Sookmyung Women’s University held a Startup School program in collaboration with ‘Google Startup Campus.’ The university explained, “Building on that connection, we decided to hold the ‘AI Startup School with Seoul’ program once again on the Sookmyung Women’s University campus located in the heart of Seoul.”

Through this program, Seoul City and Google plan to broadly cover the latest technology trends, including entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. They also focus on strengthening participants’ problem-solving skills through experiential learning methods where participants practice in groups with other trainees.

The curriculum consists of six sessions: △ Entrepreneurship Workshop △ Strategic Product Storytelling △ Leadership Principles for Success △ Customer Acquisition Strategies through Google Ads △ Introduction to AI and Cloud Tools for Startups △ Conversations with Innovative AI Startup Founders.

Key figures such as Jang Yoon-geum, President of Sookmyung Women’s University, Oh Se-hoon, Mayor of Seoul, Kim Kyung-hoon, President of Google Korea, and Mike Kim, Head of Google Startup Campus Asia-Pacific, are expected to attend the orientation on the 5th of next month. On the same day, an educational session will be held where successful AI startup founders share their practical experience and success know-how.

Each session can accommodate up to 1,000 participants, and anyone interested in startups and AI, including university students and prospective or early-stage entrepreneurs, can attend.

Jang Yoon-geum, President of Sookmyung Women’s University, said, “Last year, many students were able to grow into startup talents through the ‘Google Startup School’ program. I hope that this ‘AI Startup School with Seoul’ will be an opportunity for young people dreaming of entrepreneurship to experience a challenging and innovative startup ecosystem.”
