Webinar Series 2020 Part 2

Webinar: Exploring Entrepreneurial Opportunities in the Power and Energy Sector, Gauteng, South Africa Part 2

4 December 2020, 12h00 – 13h30 GMT+2

Our first webinar of this series was attended by over 100 delegates. Click here to see the report.

In the energy and power sector, we believe that unless women know what entrepreneurial opportunities exists in the sector, they will not be able to 1) opt to participate in the sector, 2) choose an areas of focus, 3) align themselves with the relevant actors in the ecosystem; 4) access credible market information 5) organise themselves to participate effectively and sustainably.

Our series of webinars aim to disclose new entrepreneurial worlds to women entrepreneurs.
