The Provincial Government pays special attention to the development and support of women's entrepreneurship, as well as the preservation of cultural heritage, which in the modern age is reflected through the preservation of old crafts – said Maja Gojković and emphasized that every year more and more women participate in the Agricultural Fair and exhibit handicrafts and products.

The Prime Minister of the Provincial Government also emphasized the importance of the first digital platform "Empowered", which brings together women entrepreneurs and provides them with the opportunity for education, promotion and networking.
The founder of the "Empowered" platform, Dr. Indira Popadić, pointed out that the initiative was created in cooperation with the Provincial Secretariat for Economy and Tourism, and that within the platform, each woman has her own microsite and shop, where she can offer products, regardless of where she is.
