About this event

The event takes place in our Digital Depot building from 3pm to 6pm (followed by networking and refreshments.

Be inspired by the stories of women entrepreneurs and learn about the free MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) designed to build skills and confidence in women with STEM qualifications and lead them to create their own innovative businesses.

Women represent 52% of the total European population, but only 34.4% of the EU self-employed and 30% of start-up entrepreneurs. This makes female entrepreneurial potential an under-exploited source of economic growth and creativity. When establishing and running a business, women can face particular challenges such as accessing finance, training and business support networks. These challenges discourage many women from pursuing entrepreneurship, and this is especially acute within the ICT sector where women are already under-represented.

This event will provide an opportunity for women to be inspired by the stories of other women who have followed an entrepreneurial path, and to introduce the free online course (see details on accessing this course below) hosted by the Polytechnic University of Milan which is designed to support a female entrepreneur.

Our speaker line-up includes:

Niamh Donnelly, Co-Founder and Chief Robotics Officer at Akara Robotics

Talita Holzer, CEO & Co-Founder at waytoB & Programme Manager at The Open Doors Initiative

Dervilla O'Brien, Founder at HealthBridge Technology Ltd

Elaine Burke, Editor of Silicon Republic (Panel Moderator)

Cristina Rossi Lamastra, Full Professor of Business and Industrial Economics, President of the POLIMI Guarantee Act Committee, Head and Coordinator of WiTech Project (WITECH speaker)

Omar Mazzucchelli, Ph.D student, Department of Management Engineering  (WITECH speaker)

Furkan Karayel, Author, Speaker, Lecturer (Keynote Speaker)
