Who we are

Women Do Business is a Greek NPO (Non Profit Organisation) which promotes female entrepreneurship and is against stereotypes through lots of actions and events, initially at the Region of Crete.

We started on May 2019, in Heraklion of Crete, by organizing a forum about the promotion of female entrepreneurship and evolved to our 1st business incubator in Crete.

Goal

Our goal is to increase the female entrepreneurship from 26,5% to 28% in the next 3 years and our actions to reach 10.000 women all over Greece.

Mission

Our purpose is to promote female entrepreneurship, the inspiration, mobilization and support of women who want to implement their idea into business. To change restrictive beliefs and stereotypes about women, in order to “highlight” and promote them into the business world.

Vision

A world with women who are not afraid to steop in, talk and attempt, against restrictive beliefs, who are aware of the support to implement their dreams.

Values

Cooperativeness

We’re open to new partnerships all the time. We believe that only with synergies can we move forward.

Frankness

We like personal relationships and contact, to carry out actions with time and immediacy.

Openess

Our Motto <<truth always puts you ahead>> will tell you what we feel or happen.

Consciousness

We care about others for what they feel or want and are always there to support them.

Positivity

We αre open to new contacts, partnerships, and relationships with people that share the same vision.

Αctualization

We are doers, just realizing what we have in mind without a second thought.
