Female entrepreneurship in Romania is largely a first-generation choice, with many women lacking family business role models but finding support in business communities. A study shows that autonomy and financial independence are key motivations for women starting businesses. However, they often rely on networks for support and collaboration. The She’s Next program by ING Bank aims to foster such ecosystems, providing mentorship and emotional support. Entrepreneurs like Carina Sava and Iulia Suciu emphasize the importance of community in overcoming feelings of isolation and gaining confidence. The program seeks to debunk the myth that entrepreneurs must operate alone, highlighting the value of shared experiences and connections.
