Description
During six months, 50 EIC-funded female innovators were part of this skills enhancement programme composed of elements such as
- Training Sessions
- Networking Events
- Mentoring Scheme
- Business Coaching Scheme
The existing diversity of geographical aspects and profiles enriched this 1st cohort and guaranteed the success of the Programme with its high rates of engagement.
In addition, it will help us understand more about what was implemented under each service of the programme with our trailblazing female innovators. Let’s make sure the female leadership is empowered for the next generations.
