A Networking Event and Hackathon
From April 26 to 28, the Circle U. European university alliance and its network of female entrepreneurs are organizing two events to promote women’s entrepreneurship.
Open to the entire university community, the event offers two activities:
- A networking activity where you can join the Circle U. network of female entrepreneurs, meet inspiring individuals, and participate in workshops focused on developing entrepreneurial skills (securing funding, pitching a project, etc.).
- A hackathon aimed at creating an environment that encourages women to venture into entrepreneurship. You will work in teams to develop an innovative project, which you will present to an international jury and have the opportunity to continue developing within the Circle U. incubator.
Register by March 6 via this link!

Discussion Funding for Female Entrepreneurs
Did you know that only 0.1% of all investments go to women-led startups? This is the issue the panel discussion on funding for female entrepreneurs aims to explore. It will be held online on April 29.
This conference is for anyone who wants to help build a more equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem!
Register before April 29 on the Circle U. website!
Speakers
- Prof. Helle Neergaard, whose research highlights the specific challenges faced by female entrepreneurs.
- Shaeema Zaman, entrepreneur and founder of Qase Tech Science Melting Pot, who will share her experience in a male-dominated financial landscape.
- Christina Lundsgaard Ottsen, a systemic change expert, who will discuss the impact of diversity and inclusion in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
