Share on 
The EU-funded EUROMED Invest Project is holding a webinar on ‘User-focused Innovation Management and Women’s Empowerment in Global Value Chains’ on 23 November from 1 to 3 p.m. CET. This webinar is the last session of an in-depth follow up on the training on innovation and entrepreneurship for start-ups, young entrepreneurs/women and diaspora organised within the frame of the project.
After an introduction on the initiatives offered by the EUROMED Invest Project, an overview of lessons learned on entrepreneurship and internationalization with a focus on the user with regard to innovation management will be presented.
During the second part of the webinar, the organisation ‘Business for Social Responsibility’ (BSR) will present its recently published report, “Women’s Empowerment in Global Value Chains: A Framework for Business Action” which aims to unlock business opportunities that advance health, rights, and well-being of women in global value chains. It highlights the benefits of investing in women along the value chain and provides a framework for action and practical guidance for companies to identify and strengthen value-chain investment opportunities that deliver positive returns to business, women, and society.
An additional chapter of this session will be dedicated to necessary skills to be proficient in managing growth and change. The webinar will conclude with an extended Q&A session.
The aim of the EUROMED Invest project is to boost private business and investment within the Euro-Mediterranean region to contribute to inclusive economic development. The project’s activities aim to empower Euro-Med business and investment networks to implement targeted strategies in support of SME development in specific sectors: agri-food, water and alternative energies, tourism, transport and logistics, cultural and creative industries.
