Entrepreneurship means economic growth. Female entrepreneurship is more than economic growth, hence it means imagining new solutions and career paths, attracting opportunities, nourishing great ideas that will grow one day into great businesses to have a positive impact on the labour market, competitiveness environment and employment opportunities.

Shape your future. The significance of Female Entrepreneurship as a European Citizens’ Initiative lies in the fact that it has become a necessity even more augmented by the economic crises and high unemployment rate among young people that we are facing today. It is an opportunity to tackle with the economic recovery through measures designed to improve economic activities while revealing role models, dedicated and committed women to their goals in the same time.

Act for development and sustainable growth. Women-owned businesses have the potential of job creation that we lack nowadays in the Members States across the European Union. Encouraging one woman to start up her business means in the same time providing employment opportunities for several people more. Multiply this to such an extent that unemployment may not be at such an increased level that it is in the present. Moreover, great ideas and start-ups, innovative and growth strategies that encourage competitive businesses do not happen only in big cities as one may think. Therefore smaller communities could benefit as well from the added value of the female-owned businesses since these communities statistically speaking, have the tendency to be the most afflicted by the unemployment risk and poverty.

Rely on strong ideas. More female entrepreneurs will lead to an even more competitive and dynamic economy, networking and funding opportunities to be easily accessed. Success can be achieved through a diverse range of business approaches and flow of ideas that combine different educational and cultural backgrounds. Though facing different challenges, women entrepreneurs will open gates for those sharing strong values and principles of professionalism.

Start the debate. It is high time to get involved and become an active part in the debate in order to increase public awareness of the positive contribution to society’s growth as an economic catalyst of the female entrepreneurship in the European Union.
