The Korean Women Entrepreneurs Association announced that it will hold the 4th Women Entrepreneurs Week, the largest festival and legal event for 3.26 million female entrepreneurs in the country, from July 1 to 4.
The Women Entrepreneurs Week is a statutory week held every July's first week in accordance with Article 12-3 of the Act on Support for Female Entrepreneurs. It is hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, in collaboration with the Korean Women Entrepreneurs Association, the Korean Women Venture Association, the Korean Women Inventors Association, the Korean Women IT Entrepreneurs Association, and the Korean Federation of Women's Science and Technology Associations.
This year's slogan for the 4th Women Entrepreneurs Week is "Women corporations, the key to hope for future" to highlight the role and importance of women corporations, which are noted as a hope for overcoming the low birth rate and low growth crisis, and to inspire pride and a sense of mission among female entrepreneurs.
The event program is composed of four institutional sectors: ▲Market access and public procurement ▲Communication and policy ▲Startup and job creation ▲Regional events, with a total of 57 diverse programs being held simultaneously online and offline across 19 regions nationwide, including Seoul.
Following the opening ceremony on the 1st, a "Women Corporations Policy Forum" will take place on the 2nd, focusing on ways to enhance the role of women corporations in overcoming low growth and low birth rates. On the 3rd, a "Women CEO Luncheon Forum" will be held to discuss "Trends in FemTech and Business Model Strategies."
Park Chang-sook, chair of the Korean Women Entrepreneurs Association, said, "The employment rate of female workers in women corporations is more than twice that of men corporations, contributing to the expansion of women's jobs and the recovery of the birth rate. I hope that this 4th Women Entrepreneurs Week event will widely promote the economic and social values of women corporations and that public interest and positive perception of women corporations will further spread."
