Polish Network of Women Entrepreneurship Ambassadors

Polish Network of Women Entrepreneurship Ambassadors is a non-profit organization based in Poland, which is developing an international project promoting Women Entrepreneurship Ambassadors, launched in 2009 by the European Commission.

We promote ladies who successfully run their own companies and can be an example and inspiration for others according the motto "The success can be yours – be an example for others".

We develop a platform that will facilitate the cooperation of entrepreneurial women in Poland and in various countries around the world.
