The EU has launched the new funding programme European Women Tech Fund supporting women leading deep tech startups from Europe to grow into tomorrow’s tech leaders and putting women at the forefront of deep tech in Europe.
Women TechEU is a 2-year EU-funded project supporting women leading deep tech startup companies from Europe. Their mission is to create a more gender-balanced entrepreneurship ecosystem. They believe that diversity drives innovation, and are there 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.
Sectors for consideration can include life-sciences, advanced computing, food and agri-tech, aerospace, energy and clean-tech, industrial technologies, telecoms, new materials, chemistry and many more as long as these are ground breaking and at the edge of science. Deep tech also includes artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning.
