Project description: Women TechEU is a 2-year EU-funded project supporting women who lead deep tech startup companies from Europe and its associated countries. Our mission is to create a more gender-balanced entrepreneurship ecosystem. We believe that diversity drives innovation, and we are here to provide women in deep tech with more opportunities, resources, and support to thrive. The project consortium is launching 4 calls for applications over the span of 2 years which, following a rigorous evaluation process, will result in a total of 160 beneficiaries. Each beneficiary will receive €75k grants (non-dilutive finance) as well as a personalised business development programme which includes mentoring, coaching and targeted training among other options.
Our role: AcrossLimits has a crucial role to play in the project, as we are responsible for leading the communication and dissemination Work Package of the project, ensuring that we build an audience for WomenTechEU, engage with stakeholders virtually and in person, and communicate what’s going on in the project. This is a very critical responsibility in a project seeking to reach 15,000 startups and receive a minimum of 1,500 funding applications. Moreover, AcrossLimits will be leveraging its business development and entrepreneurial expertise to substantially contribute to the provision of the Programme of Business Acceleration Services.
