On May 27, the Department of Equality and Diversity hosted the closing event for the second edition of its entrepreneurship skills training programme for women at the Marbellup Centre.
Twenty women successfully completed the course, which ran through April and May, consisting of seven weekly three-hour workshops. Topics included time management, digital administration, branding, networking, female leadership, communication, and negotiation skills.
Th participants were praised for their dedication, showing the program’s role in empowering women to launch their businesses. The final event featured two key talks: “Present and Future Challenges in Female Entrepreneurship” by Paula Bolaños García, an equality technician from Diferencia2s, and “From Inspiration to Action: Turning Your Idea into a Tangible Business Model” by Eva Pizarro León from Marbella’s CADE business school. Four established local female entrepreneurs – Maribel Muñoz González (Yotelimpio), Felisa González Bautista (Bordariz), Esther Ráez Martínez (Comunicación y Creatividad Brutal), and Ellen Zingale (HablandoenSeo) – shared their journeys and advice with the aspiring businesswomen.
Representatives from Apymespa, Apymen, and REM stressed the importance of business associations. The event concluded with the launch of the “Equi-emprendedoras” campaign, which will promote the participants’ projects via social media, podcasts, and a tea-meeting event to spotlight the new entrepreneurs and their ventures.
