In her welcome speech she appreciated that the international workshop takes place in Slovakia. "Starting women entrepreneurs in Slovakia can get advise from entrepreneurs associations and in the Top Center of Businesswomen, where successful entrepreneurs are ready to help. Today there is an another option – to use the international cooperation," said at the beginning of the meeting Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová, who is the honorary president of Top Centre of Businesswomen.
In her activities the First Lady tries to highlight the extraordinary role of women in the Slovak society, "as in the poll Slovak Woman of the Year or the Slovak Businesswoman. Through my Foundation I strive to create better conditions for women, children and families in difficulties," said Silvia Gašparovičová.
Due to the European Commission women’s entrepreneurial potential is the undiscovered source of new growth and more jobs. According to the wife of the President, Slovakia has a chance to learn from experience others. "I hope that your negotiations will be successful and beneficial to share experiences and to establish new cooperation," she concluded at the end of the meeting.
