👩‍💼 Women in Enterprise: Power Her Up networking session - Wednesday 16th October 2024 at 4:00 pm

Power Her Up is an initiative by Edinburgh Innovations and the University of Edinburgh, aimed at empowering early-stage women founders to launch and grow their businesses or social enterprises, giving them the best possible start in their entrepreneurial journey.

This initiative specifically addresses the notable gaps in startup support and funding that women entrepreneurs often encounter. It also seeks to foster a community of female entrepreneurs and founders, providing a supportive space where they can collectively navigate the challenges and successes of entrepreneurship.

Power Her Up welcomes all students, recent graduates and staff, including postdoctoral researchers, from the University of Edinburgh who identify as women, including trans and intersex women.
