Once again Lika was delighted by successful business women!

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

5th international conference about women in entrepreneurship “Žene i točka“ was successfully organized in Otočac.

Successful business women from Croatia and abroad were guests of the 5th in a row International conference about women in entrepreneurship called “Žene i točka” which is now traditionally organised during December in Otočac. This year, due to pandemic safety measures, Conference composed of 17 panelists was available exclusively through live streaming, making its reach far greater when compared to previous years.

In the heart of Lika, business women with great experience from Croatia and abroad, through three interesting panels, talked about their careers in different fields of entrepreneurship.

Great number of panel viewers through streaming channel, shows the subjects were more than interesting.

Panels on subject of “Woman in time”, “Women in science – changing the world”, and “Leaders of change – wide effect of women in society” opened many questions about female entrepreneurship and brought us very interesting conclusions about female careers concerning different fields in the world of business.

Through very lively and constructive discussion, they answered to the question of who exactly is the business woman of today.

How much effort does it take for a woman in business together with  private life and how does their position compare to the one of their male colleagues, moreover, what is considered mandatory for a woman to achieve, just to rightfully call herself successful in the field of business and science.

Exchange of the opinions offered different perspectives but all the ladies agreed in one – knowledge, effort and talent will bring success if they go hand in hand with persistency and continuous improvement.

The point of this conference, which was organised by Croatian Chamber of Economy, County Chamber Otočac, is to publicly speak about women in entrepreneurship regardless of their religious, national and ethnical affiliations.

To highlight their abundance and achievements in Lika-Senj county, Croatia and neighbouring countries, to encourage existing and potential female entrepreneurs in pursuing new business projects but also to help them connect in order to exchange knowledge and experiences.

Exactly that proved to be of great importance during this Corona time, because every new job and every new business contact will bring value in continuing to successfully operate many businesses and maintenance of stable economy.
