Female entrepreneurship initiatives in Southeast Europe

Overview

Regional initiatives in Southeast Europe are increasingly focusing on supporting female entrepreneurship through education, mentorship, and networking.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the UN Women EXPO 2026/2027 program was introduced to connect female entrepreneurs from 12 countries across Europe and Central Asia. The initiative provides workshops, mentorship, and opportunities to connect with investors for businesses that have an established product or are in a growth phase.

In Croatia, local events have been organized to foster community and professional support. The WIA Connect conference in Vukovar addressed the difficulties of sustaining businesses in limited job markets and the challenges of balancing motherhood with professional roles. Additionally, the ‘Woman for Woman’ event in Osijek focused on sharing experiences regarding self-confidence, life decisions, and the balance between work and family.
