iata mai jos un proiect minunat de sustinere a femeilor antreprenor. mi-ar placea foarte mult sa fie si o femeie din romania intre finaliste. sunt sigura ca sunt multe femei de la noi care sunt in brieful acestei competitii si ca totul depinde de cit de rapid ajunge informatia la ele pentru a se inscrie.
asa ca va rog, ajutati-ma sa popularizam asta. multumesc.
