We invite you to join us in celebrating the remarkable power and achievements of women entrepreneurs in Romania. This extraordinary gathering is more than just an event; it's a moment of inspiration where we explore the incredible journey from "Impossible to Possible".
At the 'I am F.E.A.R.L.E.S.S.' Summit, we're taking a fearless leap of faith, recognizing that the courage to venture into the unknown propels us to unimaginable heights. Our mission is to shine a spotlight on the incredible stories of F.E.A.R.L.E.S.S. Women - individuals who embody empowerment and ambition and have demonstrated unparalleled resilience in the face of adversity.
As we honor their exceptional leadership qualities, we emphasize the significance of education and the successful journeys they've embarked upon. After all, every great success begins with that initial spark of fearlessness. Together, we unite as a formidable community of strong women, fostering support and inspiration to shape a brighter, more inclusive for future generations. Our goal is to show that together, we can be unapologetically ourselves - with all our flaws and strengths - cheering for one another and working collaboratively to ignite the next generation of female leaders.
Join us in this event as we pave the way for future discussions, highlighting the importance of unity and inclusivity. Let's stand together, inspire one another, and empower the next generation of unstoppable female leaders and entrepreneurs.

This series, curated by Polirom Publishing House, includes titles such as "The Political Power of Women" (2011), showcasing women from diverse political backgrounds; "The Economic Power of Women" (2016), featuring exceptional entrepreneurs; and "The Civic Power of Women" (2018), which highlights women's innate drive to create positive change.
The latest book, “The Power of Women in Sport” (2023), celebrates the empowerment women and girls experience through physical activity and the confidence, strength, and character they gain through sports.
Curated by figures like Andreea Paul, these volumes provide crucial role models for the rising generation of women leaders. They encompass success stories in politics, entrepreneurship, the economy, and civic activism. Young women can observe effective management of personal and professional aspects of life through these role models who also provide connection and conversation.
Our special guest, Andreea Marin, a well-known TV personality in Romania, the first UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for our country, humanitarian activist, and a successful entrepreneur, is joined by her daughter, Ana Violeta Bănică, a teenage activist for humanitarian rights, on a profound topic that explores the heart of intergenerational collaboration.
This discussion highlights the often underestimated but invaluable support system cultivated within families. By focusing on the bonds and mentorship that develop naturally within kin, we underscore the significance of these relationships in nurturing women's growth and confidence for all ages.
