Female Entrepreneurship
Why mentoring the women in Health sector is it so important? First, there are still steeper uphill for women founders. Only 15,5 % of founders in Europe are women. Secondly, a specialized field like healthcare, demands more background know-how and practical tips that require a lot of learning by doing, failing, and succeeding to master. We want to create more startup-entrepreneurs in each StartUpCity and to foster the exciting ones under the umbrella of the historic and pioneer bottom-up #EiA – European innovation Area impulse among others by cities, villages, and remote areas.
The event / seminar is organized by StartUpCity Vantaa and the coalition of six Finnish cities, 6Aika growth Ecosystem -project
The high-level mentoring program is implemented by Impulse4Women (implementation leader for women at the bottom-up #EiA – European innovation Area).
