BSI_4Women promoted at “Europe, let’s cooperate! 2025” forum

On March 19–20, 2025, Krakow hosted the 11th edition of the Interregional Cooperation Forum Europe, let’s cooperate!, bringing together hundreds of participants from across Europe to exchange ideas and experiences in regional development. Among the many initiatives represented during the event was the BSI_4Women project, co-financed by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, which focuses on supporting refugee women in establishing and growing businesses.

During the “Networking and Inspiration” session, the BSI_4Women team, represented by Jakub Karp and Marek Duda from the Rzeszów Regional Development Agency (RARR), hosted a dedicated networking table titled “Refugee support in business development in EU countries.” This interactive session, held from 14:30 to 15:00, created a space for meaningful discussion around the role of entrepreneurship in supporting the integration of refugees—especially women from Ukraine—into European economies.

The networking table enabled participants to learn about the practical tools and support mechanisms developed within the BSI_4Women project and to reflect on how such approaches might be transferred to other regions. The event also encouraged connections between organisations working in different parts of Europe but facing similar challenges in fostering inclusive entrepreneurship and resilience at the local level.

By taking part in the forum, the BSI_4Women team not only promoted their ongoing activities and achievements but also reinforced the relevance of inclusive policy approaches in times of crisis. The presence of the project at such a prominent EU-wide event highlighted the importance of cross-border cooperation in building a greener, more inclusive future for all.
