We think that it’s important to empower women’s entrepreneurship in Serbia, because women have contributed a lot to the development of this society over the past 30-40 years. We should provide support especially for the women that entered entrepreneurship recently, because the first years are the most critical ones in business. They need confidence to succeed, so this mentorship programme helped to support women who are a bit insecure or don’t have enough knowledge about how to run a successful business – said Mrs. Maiko Nakagaki on that occasion.
