The aim of the EWA programme is to empower women leading early-stage companies and women with business ideas in the agrifood sector to strengthen their potential and gain the knowledge and access to networks they need to successfully launch and/or develop a sustainable business.

Ten women entrepreneurs will actively participate in the six-month mentoring programme, which addresses the specific challenges faced by women in the agrifood sector.
