Women leadership programme

Women leadership programme


The EIC Women Leadership Programme supports, inspires, and empowers female innovators. This training will provide the selected entrepreneurs with a set of trainings and networking events, as well as business coaching and mentoring opportunities for career development.

TimeLine

Women Leadership Programme in a nutshell


The programme is open to female researchers and entrepreneurs from the EIC Community and EIT female entrepreneurs.
Each cohort consists of both virtual and in-person training sessions, led by high-profile experienced trainers who challenge participants’ leadership approaches with inspiring case studies and use participatory approaches to encourage active engagement.
Participants benefit from individual coaching and personal mentoring. Through dedicated networking events, they also engage with peers and inspiring role models.

Why Women Leadership Programme?

We have identified that not only is technical training important, but also the development of personal skills. Having access to a coach and mentor at different stages of your entrepreneurial career is essential. To provide this training opportunity, we have partnered with the European Innovation Council to create this program. Female entrepreneurs who are EIT or EIC alumni will have the opportunity to apply and get the necessary training in soft skills, delivered by top professionals in the ecosystem.
