Startup mall 52 Ewhayeodae-gil helps young people turn their dreams into reality
Startup shopping mall 52 Ewhayeodae-gil helps young people become entrepreneurs by providing them with the knowledge they’ll need to run a business. It provides training on management, finance, taxes, entrepreneurship, interior design, business law, cooperatives, e-commerce and online marketing. You’ll find plenty of goods produced with the support of local governments and the Small Enterprise and Market Service.
The mall also turned a disused plot into a multi-purpose space where merchants and customers alike can rest, learn or be entertained. The Ewha Shwimteo, as the space is called, will host several events in November. The first one, the Flea Market (Nov. 2), offers a wide range of handmade crafts that embody the spirit of their creators. The second, the Culture Festival, features artistic performances from around the world.
