Even though EU member states have focused more on women entrepreneurs in the last years, the percentage of women owned companies in Europe is only 30% on average. This means that the skills and competencies of women are not utilized to the fullest in the labour market. As a consequence, fewer jobs are created, the unemployment rate stays high and employment of women in many countries are low. The crisis has put these facts into perspective, women entrepreneurs are needed to increase growth and create jobs. This project addresses this issue, with its aim to develop skills and competencies of women that recently have started up their company. The project will transfer a methodology -Business Accelerator Growth Program - that combines hard and soft skills; hard skills such as business strategy, finance, tax and accountancy, product development, marketing, exporting, social media. The soft skills module includes self efficacy training and goal setting, using action learning methods. The methodology has been tested and used in UK, with great success but will now be transferred to Iceland, Spain and Lithuania. The project will develop a practical online handbook for the target group and transfer an online platform for women to network,share experience and trade.
