First-class female entrepreneurial talent sought!

Are you an enthusiastic woman entrepreneur who is passionate about running her own business? Are you keen to inspire others by sharing the story behind your business success and your vision with them? Register now for the WOMED Award and give business successes achieved by and for women a face.

WOMED is the acronym for Women in Enterprise and Development. Every year, Markant vzw and UNIZO present this award to female entrepreneurs who have been successfully running a business of their own in their primary professional field for a period of at least five years. Additionally, they aim to shine a spotlight on fledgling women entrepreneurs through ‘De Belofte’ (The Promise), with a view to inspiring and thus motivating other women towards taking their first steps as entrepreneurs.

A new feature added to the website this year is the ‘Nominate’ button, which will allow everyone to quickly and easily nominate a first-class female entrepreneur. Of course, the organisation will contact all nominees in person to find out if they are indeed willing to be put forward as candidates first!

The deadline for registration and nominations is 19 November, on www.womedaward.be

    The Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) has been globally supporting (social) entrepreneurs wanting to start up or expand clean, renewable and sustainable energy businesses in developing countries. A recent knowledge collaboration with Vlerick’s Energy Centre allows them to connect to the huge potential of our young and innovative Masters- and MBA-students, who have the necessary skills to look at the energy access issue with a fresh perspective. Vlerick, in turn, can tap into the extensive ARE network of entrepreneurs, financiers, and public and private partners. As a first concrete result, the students taking part in our brand-new Renewable Energy boot camp will travel to the ARE conference in Lisbon to put their knowledge into action and solve a selection of participating social entrepreneurs’ real-life challenges.
