The EUROMED Invest Academy is a training and exchange of best practices workshop for BSOs aiming at maximising the exchange and improving the quality of services provided to SMEs in the Mediterranean region. The Marrakech academy was an opportunity to share best practices in various BSOs about women entrepreneurs and services provided by BSOs.
The meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of the progress made in achieving gender equality and empowering women in development programs at the regional and national level.
