On May 27, at the Marbellup Centre, the Department of Equality and Diversity organized the closing ceremony for its second edition of entrepreneurship training for women.
The course consisted of seven three-hour weekly workshops. Twenty women completed it successfully. Topics covered included time-management, digital administration and branding, as well female leadership, communication and negotiation skills.
The participants were praised by the judges for their commitment, demonstrating how the program empowers women to start their own 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 of Apymespa Apymen and REM emphasized the importance of business association. The event culminated with the “Equiemprendedoras”, which will promote participants’ projects through social media, podcasts and a tea meeting event.
