Since the establishment of the Entrepreneurship Center in 2010, Sookmyung Women’s University has established an industry-academic cooperation-friendly system led by the university, conducted various female entrepreneurship support projects, and operated entrepreneurship education, practice, and investment attraction programs.
In addition, the school has been recognized for its female entrepreneurship program playing a pivotal role in fulfilling the university's social responsibilities despite the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to startups and job creation in local communities, including Yongsan-gu, and playing a leading role in revitalizing the local economy.

We will make the best efforts to turn Sookmyung Women's University into a hub for female entrepreneurship especially in the field of technology.”
