How we built the bridge?

Project Bridge

In the sphere of the business world, one of the most valuable achievements is the connection, support, and inspiration we can provide to each other. This is exactly the basic idea behind the educational and motivational project “The Bridge of Successful Women of Serbia and Malta”, which was launched for 20 female entrepreneurs by the Serbian Educational and Cultural Center of St. Helen of Anjou (SOKC) and the Online International Club of Business Women EIBWC Malta, as part of the Association of Business Women of Serbia, with the financial support of the Directorate for Cooperation with the Diaspora and Serbs in the Region, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia.

Goals of the Project

We set clear project goals to ensure success!!

Our project is dedicated to enhancing the abilities of Serbian businesswomen based in Malta. We aim to achieve this by providing additional education, fostering networking opportunities, and promoting collaboration in women’s entrepreneurship between the two nations. Our comprehensive aim is to enable a constant exchange of knowledge, skills, and resources to stimulate the growth of women-led businesses.

Improving business skills is closely tied to setting clear business goals. Workshops, facilitated with the help of business tools, focused on formulating and tracking these goals effectively.

Digital Marketing

Introducing participants to the latest trends, tools, and techniques has laid the foundation for improving their marketing strategies.

Motivational Speechees

Motivational speeches by prominent businesswomen from Serbia have been delivered through online forums, aiming for the exchange of good business practices and experiences. These sessions also serve to recognize shared interests and business opportunities.

Business Meetings

Business meetings were held to summarize the results of past workshops and exchange updates on the current activities of the members

Realization of the Project

The project incorporated educational and networking initiatives, including 10 online lectures/workshops with distinguished speakers from Serbia and 4 meetings with successful female entrepreneurs. These activities facilitated an interactive approach to the challenges of business management and social network management. Concurrently, we organized live meetings and networking events.

We anticipate our efforts to achieve these objectives will establish lasting pathways on the entrepreneurial map between Serbia and Malta. Through marketing activities and unique encounters, we have made significant strides towards realizing our vision for a bridge of success between businesswomen in both countries.

Testimonials

The obligation of women to work in the triangle of family, home, and business cultivates their responsibility, consistency, and efficiency – all essential qualities for successful entrepreneurship. You, women, bring dedication and integrity into business, and I believe your presence is crucial for the growth and development of every country.

Mr Boško Šukić

Success comes to those who are in the right place at the right time, and our potential clients are mostly online. So, we are on the right path to learning how to reach them through digital marketing, which is not only a contemporary means of communication but likely the only one that delivers significant results in business both now and in the future. Congratulations to the Association for organizing such a project.
