V4 Business Women Congress is organized in connection to the current Polish Presidency of the Visegrád Group (or simply “V4”) which consists of the following countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. V4 countries have always been part of a single civilization sharing cultural and intellectual values and common roots, which they wish to preserve and further strengthen. By organizing this event, we would like to emphasize the efforts of the countries of the Central-Eastern European region to work together in a number of fields within the all-European integration. The initiators would like to first and foremost stimulate the entrepreneurship among women from exactly these countries, get rid of cultural stereotypes and create a genuine image of CEE women. Therefore, this event is organized under the auspices of the Trade and Investment Promotion Section of the Polish Embassy in The Hague and The Hague municipality authorities, with the full support of the Embassies of Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.
The event provides a networking platform and offers you a great opportunity to create new business links and establish contacts with enterprising women from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. We expect to gather over 250 women, already successful in business as well as those at the beginning of their career.
Appealing and motivational workshops enriched by the stories of inspiring speakers who have made the difference in the Dutch market, will help you in achieving your personal and professional goals as well in taking the next step in your career development.
