A study reveals that one in four companies in Romania is led by women entrepreneurs, who outperform mixed and male-led firms in profitability. Despite ongoing stereotypes about women's capabilities in business, data shows that female-led businesses have a profit rate of 12.3%, surpassing the average of 10.2% for other companies. The She’s Next program, supported by Visa and ING Bank, aims to empower women entrepreneurs by providing access to mentorship and resources. Participants emphasize the importance of learning, delegation, and teamwork in achieving success. However, women face unique challenges, including balancing business and family responsibilities, which can hinder their efficiency compared to men.
