FEMVision, an organisation linked to the United Nations, invited WISE to become a partner. Its mission lays in empowering women to use their capacity to bring about the changes necessary to create an alternative to today’s systems. FEMVision believes that women’s values, leadership styles and working practices in business, the community and civil society can, and must, bring about economic, social and environmental justice for all.
AFAEMME is the Association of Organisations of Meditaerranean Business Women. WISE entered into networking contact with them.
Austria (Österreich):
The WISE partner in Austria, TermNet, entered into close collaboration with the "Gründerservice" (Start-up service) of the Chamber of Economics (WKO Austria). A start was the common use of their self-assessment tool for WISE women but unfortunately, the English version did not see the light of the day due to administrative barriers. Für Deutschsprachige ist es jedoch interessant und aufschlussreich!
Another collaboration was initiated with FFG - Forschungförderungsgesellschaft (Research promotion) that provide specific programmes geared at women. Their entrepreneurial benchmarking tool is on-line and, due to its collaboration with WISE, available in English.
Spain (España):
Emprendedoras.com (women entrepreneurs in Spanish) is a pioneer virtual community initiative founded in 1999. Today, it has become the biggest virtual community for Spanish speaking women. It has more than 8.000 registered members through the entire world, although most of our members are located in Spain, Latin America and United States (Spanish speaking community). The web page receives 2.000 visits on average per day with very high participation.
Our mission is to service to the interest of women entrepreneurs in operational,
business and social issues.
