One of our stars projects Women in Entrepreneurship (WiE) has regained strength. It is Skåne-based women entrepreneurs’ community. The initiative aims to advance diversity and inclusion in the broader ecosystem in Skåne.

In collaboration with our ecosystem partners, on March 1st 2021, we started to host weekly intimate breakfast for women who are interested in entrepreneurship. We aim to continue bringing great surprises for the women of the ecosystem every Monday.

During this breakfast, we invited 2 females software developers to share their experiences on changing their career paths. We had a insightful talk about the opportunities for women in technology, the challenges they face, and the stereotypes that must be overcome.

Community Supporter
