The recent masterclass of the Empowering Women in Agrifood (EWA) 2024 programme in Greece provided a powerful platform for mentees and mentors to engage with distinguished female leaders and entrepreneurs in the agrifood sector. Organised by AWomanCanBe.org, this event showcased innovation, facilitated meaningful discussions, and fostered valuable networking opportunities.

During the masterclass, mentees and mentors of the EWA 2024 programme attended impactful presentations from leading women who have excelled through their innovative ideas and agrifood startups.
