The Parque de la Paz in Alcorcón will be the meeting point for the First Women Entrepreneurs Forum, a three-day event designed to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and networking among women in business, featuring training activities and family-friendly programs.

From Friday to Sunday, the First Women Entrepreneurs Forum will transform Parque de la Paz into a dynamic hub of activity. This initiative is designed to create a space where women entrepreneurs can share their experiences, acquire new knowledge, and establish valuable connections, thereby opening new avenues for collaboration.
Throughout the three days, attendees will be able to explore nearly twenty stands showcasing various local entrepreneurial projects. Additionally, the forum will offer a comprehensive training program, including workshops, talks, and advisory sessions. These activities are aimed at both women with established businesses and those considering starting a project or seeking tools to develop their ventures. The program also includes entertainment options for children.

"This proposal is part of the City Council's commitment to promoting public policies aimed at fostering women's economic autonomy and giving visibility to their contribution to the social and economic development of the municipality."
