Analysis of the supportive environment for women entrepreneurship in Slovenia

Namen diplomske naloge je bil raziskati in analizirati podporno okolje za žensko podjetništvo v Sloveniji. Raziskali smo tudi ekosistem za podjetništvo v Sloveniji in ugotovili, da smo v primerjavi z drugimi državami v Sloveniji razvili zelo dober podporni sistem za podjetništvo. Tako v Sloveniji poleg podjetnikov pomemben del podjetniškega ekosistema tvorijo naslednji udeleženci: Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije, Obrtno-podjetniška zbornica Slovenije, SPIRIT Slovenija, Enterprise Europe Network, Inštitut za razvoj družbene odgovornosti in drugi. Čeprav imajo ženske v Sloveniji enako možnost za poslovne priložnosti kot moški, se v praksi kaže, da je moških podjetnikov več kot ženskih podjetnic. Po raziskavi podpornega okolja za žensko podjetništvo v Sloveniji smo ugotovili, da v Sloveniji sicer obstajajo podporne institucije oziroma programi, ki so namenjeni ženskim podjetnicam, vendar je teh zelo malo. Nekatere izmed njih so: Skupnost slovenskih podjetnic, Društvo poslovnih žensk – FAM, Podjetniški center Zaupam vase!, Network MEMA, Dogodek 500 podjetnic. Ugotovili smo, da v Sloveniji na splošno manjka poslovnih inkubatorjev, namenjenih le ženskim podjetnicam, in da manjka podpore, ki bi povezovala tako podjetniški vidik kot vidik ženske, ki je mama in gospodinja.The purpose of the thesis was to examine and to analyse the support environment for women\u27s entrepreneurship in Slovenia. There was also a research about the Slovenian ecosystem for entrepreneurship carried out and the conclusion was that Slovenia developed a very good support system for entrepreneurship compared to other countries. Businessmen build an important part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and following institutions: Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia, Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia SPIRIT, Enterprise Europe Network, Institute for the Development of Social Responsibility and others. Slovenian women have the same possibilities for business opportunities as men but in practice we can see that there are more men than women working in business. According to the research carried out by the supportive environment for women\u27s entrepreneurship in Slovenia we came to the conclusion that there are supportive institutions or programmes in Slovenia, but unfortunately there are only few that are mend for businesswomen. Some of them are: Association of Slovenian Business Women, Association of Female Managers, Centre for Entrepreneurship »Zaupam vase«, Network MEMA, 500 Female Entrepreneurs. The conclusion is that, in general, there is a lack of business incubators in Slovenia intended only for female entrepreneurs and there is also not enough support which would connect both business aspect and the aspect of a woman, who has the role of a mother and housewife
