The Association of Women Entrepreneurs, AGEP-V, came about after six women entrepreneurs in Viña del Mar decided to grow and prosper under their Association's mission statement. The group's main objective is to give each other support while generating business opportunities, such as reaching out to new markets to commercialize their products and to offer their services. AGEP-V members exchange information while giving each other encouragement. AGEP-V was founded on September 1, 2000. http://www.agepv.cl/ |
