He highlighted the assistance and services offered by the Agency to female business owners. Statistics show that women make up more than 21% of private business owners, and their involvement in economic development continues to grow. One of the top priorities for KOBİA is to promote the expansion of female entrepreneurship to encourage women to pursue self-employment and entrepreneurship. Regular educational activities are conducted to assist the growth of women's entrepreneurship, to further expand the proportion of female small- and medium-sized business owners, to educate them about the support systems offered by the Agency, and to study their ideas and proposals. Women can benefit from the Agency's support and services for training, consulting, international professional development, access to financial resources and sales markets, grants, participation in exhibitions, internal market research, "Startup" certificate, etc., in order to start business activities and expand entrepreneurial activities.
