Various regional programs are being implemented to support women through entrepreneurship, professional development, and leadership training.

In the United States and Argentina, initiatives such as Fundación Sonríe Mujer and the Emprendedora del Sol 2026 program focus on fostering business connections and providing financial grants and mentorship to women-led enterprises. 

In Spain, efforts have shifted toward leadership and institutional representation. The government in La Rioja completed a Women’s Leadership Program designed to increase participation in decision-making roles, while the Women’s Council of Foment in Catalonia has begun gathering proposals from employer associations to establish economic priorities for women.
