Even after the official Women Entrepreneurs Week, events and programs involving local women entrepreneurs and citizens will continue until the end of July in 19 regions nationwide, including the Women Entrepreneurs Conference, excellent product sales promotions, charity bazaars, expert lectures, and management difficulty consultations.

Lee Jeong-han, President of the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association, stated, "Women-owned businesses, which account for more than 40% of all companies and have grown into a pillar of the national economy, must look toward globalization. Through Women Entrepreneurs Week, I hope many women entrepreneurs will take on the challenge of overseas expansion and reach a turning point for growth."
