🌍
Create a female tech talent pool

👩‍💻
Change the tech startup scene

Creating a sustainable ecosystem for the future means establishing a diverse community. We offer exchange by networking and meeting other female founders, tech enthusiasts and women in business.

Why all this?

🤖
Technology is biased

Without diversity, we reinforce biases and discrimination.

🚫
Untapped potential

If only half of the population is included in technological development and innovation, valuable economic and societal potential is lost. Women are missing in the tech industry and startups – at all levels.

💡
Diversity drives innovation

Diverse teams are more creative, successful, and innovative.

🔮
Who is shaping our future?

Technology is a central part of our lives. Those who work in tech can actively shape what our future looks like.

ROLE MODELS.

THINK BIG. GET INSPIRED.

How can we get women more involved in developing technology and entrepreneurship? We believe that female role models matter! So we interviewed role models from allaround the world – giving authentic female entrepreneurs the plattform to tell their story, give insights and inspire the Mannheim community of female founders.

By sharing their personal stories we get an insight into the world of tech from the perspective of successful women. We will learn what they have achieved, what keeps them motivated, what they have had to sacrifice to reach their goals and especially: how to think big.
