Description

The project aims to support women who wish to create a space where female entrepreneurs can develop their talents and analyse their business ideas with access to tools that can help identify the skills required in business management. The project will assist women in defining aims, experiment with ideas, and initiate their business. The project provides information, training, counseling, support and monitoring for women who want to start or build a business, through the application of an innovative methodology that incorporates which uses the participant's talents as a starting point. The project also focuses on the need to structure activities around the importance of work life balance. Structuring activities in different phases and providing women with tools to find their working space through the logic of "process"; ie, a journey that facilitates the identification, analysis, experimentation and decision-making, is central to the project.

Summary of project results

The project was needed in order to contribute towards equality of opportunities between men and women in view of the identified weaknesses and threats faced by women entrepreneurs due to their gender, which represent serious limitations when making the decision to start a business. Mujeres con valor.es is an innovative and enabling accompaniment programme for women designed to enhance their talent as entrepreneurs. The aim of the programme has been to provide support (simultaneously in three different regions) to a total of 29 women who wanted to start their own entrepreneurial ventures, generating a group platform where they had the opportunity to recover their talents, and define, create and launch their entrepreneurial initiatives, from a gender perspective and with the support of a network of alliances with a various regional agents. The project has successfully enabled a total of 27 women (of the initial 29) to complete their entrepreneurial process, 20 of whom managed to define a minimum viable product. This was achieved with the support of a network of 73 alliances, 50 of which helped with the dissemination of the project, while 23 took part as experts throughout the execution process. Six of the Alliance partners are providing their support to ensure the continuity of the results achieved.
