The aim of the project Wise and Strong: Entrepreneurship for the Silver Years (CZ.03.01.02/00/25_088/0006942) is to support 80 women entrepreneurs aged 50 and over from the Moravian-Silesian and South Moravian regions in stabilising and developing their entrepreneurial activities, thus contributing to preventing them from being at risk of poverty in retirement. Participants will undergo a comprehensive programme including initial diagnostics, individual consultations and workshops focused on finance, marketing, digital tools and AI. The project also includes the creation of a strategic plan for the sustainability of educational and support activities for the next two years, thanks to which the tools and knowledge from the programme will remain available to other women entrepreneurs even after its end. The project is co-financed by the European Union from the Operational Programme Employment Plus.
