The opening ceremony was attended by key officials from the organizations, including Park Ra-hee, Head of JP Morgan, Jang Pil-hwa, President of the Korea Women's Foundation, Noh Ji-eun, Secretary General, and Kim Yu-ri, Director of the Ewha Womans University Leadership Development Institute. Shin Seon-hwa, representative of the Allokdalrok Cooperative, delivered a speech on behalf of the trainees.

'My Future, My Business IV', sponsored by JP Morgan and organized by the Korea Women's Foundation, is a program that provides digital capacity building training to 40 female entrepreneurs nationwide and supports business improvement for 20 companies through individual consulting that diagnoses management issues.

The training program runs from May to July, offering female entrepreneurs, who face the double burden of caregiving and business operations, education from the basics of digital capacity to advanced marketing. After the training, expert consulting will be provided to support business improvement and growth costs, helping female entrepreneurs overcome management difficulties and sustain their businesses.

Previously, the Korea Women's Foundation, in collaboration with JP Morgan, supported businesses run by female entrepreneurs who needed assistance through 'My Future, My Business' 1-3 from 2015 to 2021. During the process, they collected information on the difficulties faced by various female entrepreneurs, including single parents, female heads of households, and those with digital vulnerabilities, and planned this program to create a comprehensive support system for them.

Jang Pil-hwa, President of the Korea Women's Foundation, stated, "Many entrepreneurs have faced difficulties after the COVID-19 pandemic, and the service sector, where women are predominantly employed, has been hit hard. I hope this will be an opportunity for women to rediscover themselves as professionals as they develop their digital skills. I hope this will be an opportunity for female entrepreneurs to take care of themselves. I hope they will support each other and work together to create a driving force that will enable them to run their businesses for a long time."

Kim Ki-joon, CEO of JP Morgan Korea, delivered his greeting, saying, "We are delighted to be able to participate in helping female entrepreneurs enhance their digital capabilities. We hope that the fourth My Future, My Business program will provide them with the necessary digital skills to adapt to the changing business environment and enhance the sustainability of their businesses."

The Korea Women's Foundation was established in 1999 with the goal of creating a world where all women in Korea can live equally and harmoniously. The foundation supports public activities for a gender-equal society and strives to realize a life based on a caregiving community and sharing culture with women in socially and economically disadvantaged positions.

JP Morgan is supporting a variety of social contribution activities in collaboration with domestic non-profit organizations, creating new opportunities for small business development, youth, women, and underprivileged communities.
