WOMEN'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP FAIR OF AP VOJVODINA AND REPUBLIKA SRPSKA ANNOUNCED

The first Women's Entrepreneurship Fair of AP Vojvodina and Republic of Srpska will be held on Sunday, December 7, in the "Master" Hall of the Novi Sad Fair.

The organizers are the Provincial Government and the Provincial Secretariat for Economy and Tourism in cooperation with the Novi Sad Fair. The event was announced today in the oldest fair house in this part of Europe.

The Provincial Secretary for Economy and Tourism, Dr. Nenad Ivanisevic, pointed out that this Fair, with its theme and importance, celebrates women in every sense of the word. Ivanisevic emphasized that the initiative for organizing this Fair was created at the suggestion of the President of the Provincial Government, Maja Gojkovic, and that this fair event is the most beautiful event organized by the Provincial Secretariat together with the Novi Sad Fair and with women entrepreneurs, and that everyone invited and responded to this Fair.  The idea, in agreement with all stakeholders and organizers, is for this event to become a traditional New Year's gathering where we give recognition to all women in Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, women who have the strength to not be afraid to step out of stereotypes and to show how strong they are and how ready they are to take responsibility for themselves. Ivanisevic said. He invited all interested parties to visit the Novi Sad Fair on Sunday, during this fair event, in order to see how diverse and rich the offer of women entrepreneurs from AP Vojvodina and Republika Srpska is.   

For women who intend to become entrepreneurs, the experiences of those who have gone all the way – from the idea to the realization and stable business – are valuable. Mia Kostić Strajin, who is behind the Novi Sad brand "Puerra" - Premium bedding and assortment for babies and the whole family, spoke about the importance of such events. "As an entrepreneur and a proud member of the community of women who, with their efforts, work and innovations, constantly push the boundaries, create opportunities for new jobs and influence the positive economic image of our country, I have the honor to invite you to the Women's Entrepreneurship Fair. This Fair will bring together women from various fields, from creative and service activities, production and technology, with the aim of showing how important women's entrepreneurship is and what kind of power it has. This Fair is not just an exhibition space for us, it is an opportunity to connect, support each other, exchange experiences, knowledge and create new opportunities for business expansion. Also, I sincerely hope that this Fair will be a great inspiration for women to gather the courage and decide to start their own businesses or expand existing businesses. I would like to thank all the organizers and friends of this Fair for recognizing women's entrepreneurship as important, and I want to invite all women and men to visit the Fair and see what women's power can do. 

"As a co-organizer at such an event, we are very pleased, but we are also very pleased that the Novi Sad Fair has been recognized and chosen to be a place from which a message is sent about the importance and strengthening of women's entrepreneurship, as well as the equal role of women in the development of our society," said MSc Jelena Marinković Radomirović, Executive Director for Integrated Marketing Communications of the Novi Sad Fair. "We are pleased that about 200 exhibitors, companies, associations, representatives of chambers of commerce, the Institute for Gender Equality, as well as independent craftsmen from the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and the Republic of Srpska, as well as many others, will be present. What I want to point out is that the Novi Sad Fair is an ideal space for women entrepreneurs to gain even greater visibility and recognition, the support they really deserve, and what is most important is to network. A rich program will be organized with expert lectures, fashion shows, panel discussions as well as thematic workshops. I would like to thank the Provincial Government, the Provincial Secretariat for Economy and Tourism as important partners and organizers who initiated this event and who recognized the importance of such a project, and really, thank you for that, added MSc Jelena Marinković Radomirović. - We expect that this fair will be a good overture for our calendar of events and that it will become richer for this magnificent event. Finally, I would like to send a joint message of support. I am sure that everyone who visits this Fair will enjoy the beauties it offers and that we will do our best to be good hosts, said Executive Director Marinković Radomirović.
