Introducing empowHER:
Empowering Female Founders in STEM and Innovation

empowHER is an innovative 12 week program designed to empower and support female founders in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as well as innovation. This initiative is aimed at addressing the gender gap and empowering women to excel in traditionally male-dominated industries, fostering their growth as entrepreneurs and leaders.

empowHER recognises the immense potential of female founders and is committed to providing them with the necessary tools, resources, and support to thrive in their entrepreneurial journey.

empowHER stands out from other programs through its comprehensive and holistic approach to supporting female founders. We not only provide business advice and direction but also focus on empowering women personally, fostering their self-esteem and confidence. Our program is built on the foundation of strong, diverse networks, with a team that is well-connected within both the government and business community, ensuring participants have access to valuable connections and opportunities.
