Work Package 2 : Models

FEM Project in Päijät-Häme

 Strategy

The strategy in the region of Päijät-Häme is to create a co-operation network between parties promoting female entrepreneurship, so that already existing training and counselling elements can be utilised to the full, and there will be close co-operation among the authorities and the actors. The Female entrepreneurship is promoted by increasing quality and effectiveness of the counselling, and by making access for entrepreneurs to expert services easier.

 

Work Packages  

WP 2: Networks for training and exchange of experience for advisors and resource centre leaders
WP 5: Internationalisation of women´s entrepreneurship in the BSR
The both work packages will be carried through by the network.
