RAISE is a partner in the European GLOW-CE project for women’s entrepreneurship

RAISE is a partner in the project “GLOW-CE: Gender-equal Leadership and Opportunities for Women”, approved and funded under the Interreg Central Europe Programme, with a total budget of €582,652.00.

The GLOW-CE project was selected under Priority 1 – “Cooperating for a smarter Central Europe”, with a specific focus on Objective SO 1.2, aimed at strengthening skills for smart specialisation, industrial transition, and entrepreneurship in Central Europe.

The partnership, led by S.T.R.I.A. – South Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency (Hungary), includes, in addition to RAISE S.c.a.r.l., JAIP – South Bohemian Agency for Support to Innovation (Czech Republic) and the association Wondernature (Croatia).

The main objective of GLOW-CE is to increase the competitiveness of the partner regions by unlocking the untapped potential of women’s entrepreneurship.

To this end, the project aims to develop tools and frameworks that strengthen the capacities of both business support organisations and women, contributing to the creation of a more accessible, inclusive, and needs-oriented ecosystem at the regional level.

GLOW-CE is structured around three main dimensions:
– a gender dimension, targeting women under 35 at the early stages of their careers, who are already entrepreneurs or aspire to become one;
– a geographical dimension, which analyses the ecosystem from a regional perspective to ensure equal opportunities also for those living outside major urban centres;
– a sectoral dimension, with a particular focus on the digital and green sectors.

With a duration until 31 January 2028, the GLOW-CE project represents a significant opportunity for women entrepreneurs and the broader regional ecosystem, strengthening RAISE’s international dimension and generating concrete and lasting impacts.
