On November 19, on the World Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, a fundraising evening was held in front of an audience of 90 people in the premises of the Business in heels Association. This evening was devoted to choosing the best of 13 business ideas by 13 women entrepreneurs.
By the decision of an independent three-member jury consisting of Dubravka Bjekić, director of PaySpot payment institution, Nikolina Josipović, director of Paradox Consulting and Danijela Ratić, professor of economics and business, the first prize, a check for 5,000 euros, was shared by two great entrepreneurs – Nikolina Kosovac and Stefana Miladinović .
Nikolina’s idea is to open the “Naj Šnajderaj” tailoring shop, and Stefana’s idea is to create a very innovative fashion line “ЯU UR”.
The third-placed idea was also chosen, the “Serbian school” whose author is a young lady Sofija Savić.
All three entrepreneurs received a free team building weekend on Zlatibor organized by the Business in Heels Association, and Nikolina and Stefana also received a weekend in Slovenia, a gift from our great friend Branka Aralica, director of the Business Incubator Vrelec from Rogaška Slatina.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Milorad Radojević, a member of the City Council for Economy, who is always present at our events and wholeheartedly supports women’s entrepreneurship, as well as Aleksandar Gvozdić, owner of HB Hospitality and director of Hotel Tonanti, who, while addressing the audience, emphasized the importance of women entrepreneurs in the development of the entire society, and also presented the great tourist offer of Vrnjačka Banja and its surroundings, as well as the contents of the Tonanti Hotel.
