Our initiative Women Start-up excites and motivates women to become involved in technology and entrepreneurship. We help you discover your talents and provide you with the right qualifications to found a start-up. On your path to becoming a founder, we support you hands-on and offer consulting.
Join the community and meet other inspiring women and female founders. We organize network events, start-up visits, and workshops. Events that are open to all are part of our offer: feel free to bring along others and expand our common network. Our regular morning jour fixe is an informal exchange that takes place at different venues.
We need more women in the tech start-up scene. Considering the societal challenges we’re facing, we can’t afford to do without the entrepreneurial power and creativity of women. That’s why we founded the Women Start-up initiative: to encourage women and support them in setting up their own business or getting involved in a start-up.
