PWG Entrepreneur Spotlight
The Entrepreneur spotlight is a panel discussion with four women, three entrepreneurs at different stage of the business lifecycle and one angel investor.
We believe success leaves clues and we can learn a lot from people who have gone before us.
From our panellist we will hear
- How they started their business
- What they learned along the way
- What enabled them to get to where they are today
- What challenges they overcame along the way
We want to support PWG entrepreneurs. We will have our very first PWG Expo and members can have a trade table during the event. Reserve your trade table soon as space is limited and let’s celebrate female entrepreneurship together!
For trade table reservation or question about the event, please contact: anapaula@pwg-zh.com and alena@pwg-zh.com

Giselle through her creation of the DELANCE has learnt about the creativity, courage and dedication to excellence need to be a successful entrepreneur.
