As part of our mission to encourage female talent and to commemorate Women’s Day on March 8th, we held an intimate breakfast with female founders, in collaboration with our partner MINC. We invited 6 female entrepreneurs to join the breakfast. During the event, the founders had the chance to network and share experiences.
At the event, we were able to learn from everyone's thriving backgrounds and paths through venture. These female talents spoke openly about their ideas, their goals, as well as their concerns and barriers. During the breakfast, they exchanged personal learnings, received support and advice from each other.

Dzenis Skopljak, Community Manager, and Sofie Olsson, Head of Communication of MINC. In 2002, the City of Malmö set up MINC to fuel innovation. It was one of Scandinavia’s first startup incubator programs - just after the dot com-bubble burst, but well ahead of the rise of the new internet giants. Now MINC is the startup house of Malmö, the leading incubator in Southern Sweden.
