Local consultations are held free of charge. We have now doubled the number of training courses per week. We plan to hold trainings more often in 10 regions of the country, including those located in the border zone.”
She noted that there is a certain progress in the field of women’s entrepreneurship, which is primarily related to the competent approach of women to doing business, with the support of the Association’s specialists.

The Association of Women Entrepreneurs of Azerbaijan was established with the support of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs of Azerbaijan in October 2017.
Over 143,000 women are engaged in business in Azerbaijan, according to the statistics.
