Entrepreneurship

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

As a network of women entrepreneurs, we promote an entrepreneurial spirit within existing businesses (intrapreneurship) and we help new entrepreneurs develop new business areas and activities.

Entrepreneurship at Fidem by the numbers:

We serve more than 100 entrepreneurs in their early stage.
We have made more than 50 business plans a reality.
We have acted as intermediaries for microcredits totaling € 200,000.
We have 25 active mentoring members

What does the Entrepreneurship Committee do?

We help entrepreneurs in three different ways:

1. Technical support in the creation of business plans and economic and financial plans.

2. Financial intermediation in microcredit management for new business plans up to 25.000 euros.

3. Network of business mentors that offer help and personal guidance by sharing industry experiences and/or business functional areas (agreement signed for 18 months).
