Opportunity Information: Apply for PE SVK FY2025 04
The Academy for Women Entrepreneurs in Slovakia (AWE) is a U.S. Embassy Bratislava grant opportunity focused on boosting womens social and economic empowerment, with a particular emphasis on Eastern Slovakia as the priority region. The goal is to help enterprising women gain practical business knowledge, stronger professional networks, and real pathways to launching new ventures or scaling existing small businesses. Through this program, the Embassy is looking to fund an organization that can run a structured entrepreneurship training experience that combines online learning with in-person engagement, mentorship, and exposure to successful women-led businesses.
At the center of the program is a cohort model: the selected implementer is expected to recruit and support roughly 30 women participants who will meet in a blended format (both online and in-person). The training is designed to build core business competencies such as strategic planning, marketing, and financial management. A required element is the use of DreamBuilder, a no-cost online entrepreneurship platform that teaches business fundamentals from a U.S. perspective. DreamBuilder covers topics like marketing, pricing, and bookkeeping, and it includes tools that guide participants through developing a business plan, including a built-in business plan generator. Participants are not meant to complete the content in isolation; the program should include facilitated discussions and guidance that help women translate the modules into decisions and next steps for their own businesses.
The Embassy is also signaling that it wants AWE to be more than a basic training course. Competitive proposals are expected to intentionally build a support ecosystem around participants by bringing in local facilitators, business leaders, and especially U.S. exchange alumni who can serve as mentors. The program design should incorporate meaningful networking and real-world practice opportunities, such as speed mentoring sessions, pitch competitions, and entrepreneurship fairs. Applicants are strongly encouraged to partner with local institutions like NGOs, universities, and chambers of commerce to widen the network available to participants and create stronger local buy-in and sustainability beyond the training period.
Strong applications will show clear engagement of women business leaders and female expert speakers, particularly those with connections to the United States, and should include site visits to successful women-led businesses so participants can learn directly from operating entrepreneurs. In short, the Embassy is looking for an implementer that can combine the required DreamBuilder curriculum with mentorship, peer learning, networking, and inspirational exposure to role models, all aimed at increasing womens economic participation and opportunity in Eastern Slovakia.
