EmpoWOMEN is born with the aim of overcoming the obstacles faced by women in the field of research, development, and innovation (R&D&I), to enhance equality in the realm of deep tech entrepreneurship. The project will offer a unique program to scale companies led by women in the European expansion area (emerging countries and overseas territories). The main objective is to create an exclusive support program for founders and entrepreneurs leading deep tech startups in the European expansion areas, helping them grow and become the technological leaders of tomorrow, placing women at the forefront of deep tech in Europe.
The program will include two open calls. The first call will open on January 8, 2024, and close on March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day
