Under the theme “Step into the universe of EIT Supernovas”, participants will experience an inspiring and inclusive atmosphere designed to foster collaboration and confidence.
The event will feature a bracelet bar, symbolising creativity and self-expression, along with an open networking session to help attendees expand their professional “tribe” and meet like-minded women from the entrepreneurial galaxy. Guests will also gain exclusive research insights from a recent Supernovas study exploring unconscious gender bias in early-stage entrepreneurship finance.
Guests will also gain exclusive research insights from a recent Supernovas study exploring unconscious gender bias in early-stage entrepreneurship finance, based on findings from a report developed by the EIT Community Supernovas initiative in collaboration with the ESADE Center for Social Impact (Spain) and Equinox Equality (The Netherlands). How can conscious and unconscious gender biases in early-stage entrepreneurship be mitigated?
Organised by the EIT Community, led by EIT Urban Mobility, EIT Manufacturing and EIT Food, and with the support of EIT Culture & Creativity, this event invites women to connect, collaborate and shine like Supernovas.
