About
What is behind
WE-RISE?
WE-RISE is a groundbreaking initiative designed to support and amplify the impact of women-led startups in GreenTech, AgriTech, and ClimateTech across Europe. Recognizing the significant barriers female entrepreneurs face, such as limited funding opportunities and lack of access to resources, WE-RISE aims to create a more inclusive and diverse innovation ecosystem.
The project brings together a consortium of experienced partners to provide tailored support, including mentorship, cross-border collaboration, and access to €1.2 million in non-equity funding. Through a dual-stage support program, WE-RISE will help 40 women-led startups scale their innovations.
