Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs: Join Us at Women’s Entrepreneurship Day 2024

As the founder of Womazing, I’m thrilled to invite you to a transformative event that celebrates the power and potential of women entrepreneurs. On November 19th, 2024, Budapest will host Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED), a global initiative recognized in 144 countries under the United Nations’ auspices.

This year’s theme, “Women Creating a New Future – Let’s Plan Together,” couldn’t be more timely. As a TheBreak fellowship alumna and proud member of the Conscious Marketing Movement, I’ve witnessed firsthand how collaboration and conscious business practices can transform our entrepreneurial landscape.

The event takes place on November 19th, 2024, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Budapest University of Economics and Business, UniZone Centre (XIV. Bagolyvár utca 6-10).

A Collaborative Effort for Change

This inspiring event is the result of dedicated collaboration between leading organizations in Hungary’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. I’m honored to co-organize WED 2024 alongside Kata Keveházi, Hungary’s WED Ambassador since 2018. Through her role at the Well-being Foundation and extensive experience in women’s advocacy, Kata has been instrumental in bringing this global movement to Hungary and championing women’s economic empowerment.

We organize this special day together with Design Terminal, one of Central Europe’s leading innovation agencies, which has been pioneering support for women entrepreneurs through their successful Womenture program. This international initiative has been transforming the landscape for women entrepreneurs across the region. Additionally, Hétfa Research Institute brings valuable insights from their recent EU-wide study on women entrepreneurs’ crisis management strategies, ensuring our event is grounded in current research and real-world understanding. We are most grateful to the Budapest Business University for hosting this year’s event and to the university’s researchers for paying attention to the situation of women in the Hungarian business sector: the GEM report is published each year thanks to their work.

This powerful collaboration with Kata Keveházi (WED), Dana Kiss (DT, Womenture), Gigi Tímár (BGE) and Katalin Oborni, Phd. (Hétfa Research Institute) ensures that WED 2024 offers not just inspiration, but actionable insights and practical support for women entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.

Why Women Entrepreneurship Events Matter Now

In an era where uncertainty has become our constant companion, women entrepreneurs face unique challenges yet continue to demonstrate remarkable resilience. The recently published GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) survey highlights significant challenges facing women entrepreneurs in Hungary, but it also reveals our incredible capacity for innovation and adaptation.

The event brings together an impressive lineup of speakers and workshops, addressing crucial topics from AI integration in business to building supportive communities. We’re particularly excited to feature successful entrepreneurs who’ll share their strategies for navigating recent global crises while maintaining sustainable business practices.
