Women Breaking Barriers: Gender-Responsive Twin Transformation Across Regions

This session brings together three EU-funded initiatives that promote women's leadership in the twin transformation. While the WE.Circular project focuses on fostering policy ecosystems for women entrepreneurs across the Danube Region, the GRANDIS project concentrates on European policy solutions related to the twin transition of female-driven SMEs, and the Developing Women Empowerment Models in Manufacturing Industry project aims to strengthen women’s participation in manufacturing and STEM through gender-responsive transformation models. The session highlights replicable models, cross-sectoral policy dialogue and stakeholder collaboration for women’s empowerment in regional development.
