A Milestone Acknowledgment by Interreg.no

The support from Interreg.no, a key player in fostering regional development and cooperation across borders, highlights the project’s potential to drive meaningful change.

The project aims to create a conducive environment for female entrepreneurs by providing them with the necessary tools, knowledge, and networks to succeed. This approach not only helps in building new lives but also significantly contributes to the local economies of the Baltic Sea region.

Daniela Gundersen, the project leader from Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune, emphasizes the transformative impact of Interreg.no’s support: “With Interreg.no’s recognition, we are more equipped than ever to support these courageous women in their entrepreneurial journeys. Our upcoming incubation program and the tools we are developing are tailored to meet their unique needs and challenges.”

Interreg.no’s backing is pivotal for BSI_4Women, enabling it to extend its influence and aid more women in the Baltic Sea region. This partnership exemplifies how strategic support can empower vulnerable groups, promote economic independence, and integrate them into a broader community, fostering a healthier and more dynamic regional economy.
