Partners
The partnership has been assembled to form a unified team that complements each other in terms of skills, experience, expertise, knowledge, and operational background. Although each project outcome is assigned to a specific partner, all partners will contribute to all activities. This is because each partner can offer a unique contribution based on their experience and the work of their experts in the field of intercultural and innovative support for female entrepreneurs. This unique contribution is particularly valuable in the context of the topics and exercises assigned.
The G-FEB project has established a transnational partnership between 8 organizations – NGOs & private entities, from 7 different countries, as described below:
