• Following the success of The Break Fellowship—a program designed to attract female entrepreneurs to Spain, which brought nearly 1,000 female entrepreneurs from across the European Union to our country between 2022 and 2023— and following the success of THE BREAK ESPAÑA in 2024, we are launching THE BREAK VALENCIA!, which will benefit female entrepreneurs in the province of Valencia.

The Breakers
Thanks to The Break Fellowship, a community of 1,000 European women was created, based on mutual support, sisterhood, and collaboration.

Now, thanks to funding from the European Social Fund+ (ESF+) and the Valencia City Council, THE BREAK VALENCIA is being launched to support entrepreneurial projects led by women residing in the province of Valencia, with three objectives:

• Impact Project Acceleration: A personalized journey to build stronger, more sustainable impact-driven companies through workshops, mentoring sessions, and peer validation.
• Sisterhood: The Break community is based on collaboration and mutual support among women, and its mission is to transform entrepreneurship in the European Union.
• Regional Development: Giving back is in the Breakers’ DNA. The female entrepreneurs will participate in open innovation activities to address local challenges in their autonomous community.
