Supporting women entrepreneurial skills as part of the overall economic development is an important ingredient to boost the performance in the entire Adriatic region comprising Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia. The primary purpose of the one-day event is to address small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, large corporations and other stakeholders, by drawing their attention to the role of female entrepreneurship in creating more good jobs and highlighting types of support required to achieve this. In addition to developing a network of business women, the event aims at facilitating positive developments and economic growth in the region as well as strengthen business relationships and cooperation among the three participating countries.
The event will also mark the official launch of the EBRD Women in Business Programme through a signing ceremony of the credit facility dedicated to women entrepreneurs with Raiffeisenbank Austria d.d. Zagreb.
