The Songpa Women’s Career Connection Center Startup Support Office (2nd floor, 5, Baekjegobun-ro 42-gil, Songpa District) serves as a base that provides office space and helps women entrepreneurs build their startup capabilities. From 2018 through last year, a total of 46 companies have used this space.


This year, a total of seven companies will be selected, including one independent office and six coworking office desks. Resident companies can freely use the office space, meeting rooms, and office equipment such as multifunction printers for one year. In addition, they can utilize the in-house studio facilities for product photography and live commerce video production.


The Startup Support Office offers special entrepreneurship lectures to strengthen practical skills, one-on-one mentoring with experts, and training in marketing and tax affairs. It also hosts a “Networking Day” for resident companies, leveraging the advantages of a shared office to support information exchange and opportunities for joint growth.


Eligible applicants are women entrepreneurs who reside in Seoul and are either preparing to start a business or have launched a business within the past three years. The residency period runs from October this year to September next year, with the possibility of extending for up to two years. Working hours are until 8 p.m. on weekdays, and weekend use is restricted.


Women entrepreneurs wishing to apply can download the application form from the Songpa District Office or Songpa Women’s Career Connection Center website, complete it, and submit it via email to the person in charge (shm12119078@songpa.go.kr). After a document review, the results will be individually notified on September 19.



Seo Kangseok, Mayor of Songpa District, stated, “The Startup Support Office residency support program will be a special opportunity for early-stage entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams without financial burden,” adding, “We will continue to implement a variety of support programs so that talented women can actively take on entrepreneurship and grow into key players in the local economy.”
