If you envision crafting your own thriving business, this program is your gateway to acquiring indispensable knowledge and building fundamental skills. Participants will delve into vital business concepts and gain insights while forging connections with influential mentors, seasoned investors, and industry-leading advisors.
Throughout the program, participants will engage in a dynamic curriculum covering key areas such as:
- Business model creation
- Customer validation and testing
- Product and prototype development
- Growth and marketing
- Developing your pitch

With access to a strong support system, participants will establish invaluable connections, expand their professional network, and create opportunities for potential collaborations.

We enthusiastically encourage all women who are keen on exploring the innovation landscape and developing their entrepreneurial skills to apply, even if they haven't formulated a business idea yet.
