European Venture Contest Women Entrepreneurship 2014

Our aim

 

Despite the strong economic and business advantages of the gender equality in entrepreneurship, most of the companies in ICT, Life Science and Cleantech are led by men. Therefore the EVC-WiE pays a special attention to women entrepreneurship in these industries. The online contest is designed to enable knowledge in the field and encourage women entrepreneurship.  

EVC-WiE aims to: 
  • Provide recognition for women led enterprises in the ICT, Life Science and Cleantech industries. 
  • Create broader awareness among investors who can help women entrepreneurs to build the kind and level of business they wish. 
  • Provide a greater understanding of women’s entrepreneurship to an expert jury.
  • Establish the foundation of a growing network and further initiatives in the field.
  • Create an open platform for future discussion with regard on growth of female entrepreneurs and new business opportunities.
  • Provide the best 10 online applicants with direct access to pitch at EVS, taking place in Düsseldorf, 8 & 9 December 2014.
