THE WOMEN Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) – Gujarat chapter, under the support of the MSME Commissionerate, government of Gujarat and implemented by the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), has seen participation from over 900 women in its first Nine Entrepreneurship Awareness Programmes (EAPs) since its launch on September 3.

These programmes were organised in Bharuch, Nadiad, Modasa, Surat, Navsari, Vadodara, Rajpipla, Anand and Bhavnagar over the past month.

Designed as a one-stop platform, WEP provides women entrepreneurs access to training, incubation, mentoring, funding support, policy advocacy and market linkages.

The initiative is being planned to cover all 33 districts of Gujarat, with EDII spearheading the execution of several programmes.

“With its planned activities, WEP-Gujarat Chapter aims at reaching thousands of women in the coming months, nurturing a generation of entrepreneurs who will not only build businesses but also strengthen families, communities, and the state economy,” EDII authorities said.
