French & Romanian female business leaders join forces to advance Gender-Balanced Leadership with global network

The Power of Women Working Together - Creating Our Future

We promote the professional progress of women across all sectors and industries. This is how it began, and how it has changed and evolved to become what it is today.

VEP2021 Virtual Entrepreneurship Program Launch

PWN Global Entrepreneurship Committee is pleased to announce the VEP2021 Virtual Entrepreneurship Program’s launch in association with EU Business School and EMCC for women who have launched or who are planning to launch their own business. The program is open to members and non-members of the PWN network and is offered on a part-time, online basis for over nine months.

The program is truly international, with participants expected to come from all 29 PWN city networks and beyond. The participants may already have started their businesses or maybe at the idea stage. The program is flexible and comprises modular, online monthly training sessions, with tailored coaching circles and mentoring support to help participants put the learning into action.

As one of our new partners, EMCC exists to develop, promote, and set the expectation of best practice in mentoring, coaching, and supervision globally to benefit society. This partnership assures that our participants receive the best type of coaching. EMCC provides mentors who care deeply about people andhave incredibly high personal standards and ambitions.

Established in 1973, EU Business School is an international, professionally accredited, high-ranking business school with campuses in Barcelona, Geneva, Montreux, Munich and online. Offering English-taught foundation, bachelor’s, master’s and MBA programs, it is ranked among the top business schools globally and has been awarded four stars for Overall Business Education by QS Stars.

Patricia Zeegers, PWN Global’s VP of Entrepreneurship, said: “Women business professionals with a desire or need to start their own business and women entrepreneurs in their first 2 to 3 years who are interested in joining this year’s programme should get in touch now. The COVID-19 pandemic is especially harmful to working women, and it will permanently reshape our world as it continues to unfold. However, some changes will serve women business owners well. Remote work, in some form, is here to stay. And investors are starting to expand their focus and include the impact an organization has into the assessment. It’s time for women to step up and present their solutions to current challenges to the world”.

PWN Global is the largest English-speaking association for accelerating gender-balanced leadership in business and society. With a global community of 60,000 + professionals supported by over 50 corporate partners and 3,500 members, PWN Global is a purpose-driven, not for profit, volunteer-led movement with unparalleled global reach; this provides a thriving environment for potential entrepreneurs.

The network that historically has supported women in their career growth, and more recently is also engaging more men to unite in achieving gender-balanced leadership. The programme’s coaches are men and women from professional, diverse backgrounds crossing cultures, industries, and geographical regions.

PWN Global exists to connect people via our unique global network, inspiring the leaders of today to create exemplary entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
