We are very excited to announce that we received a new female empowerment program at the Startup Incubator Berlin – the Berlin Startup Scholarship for Women!
Since Berlin wants to become the number one innovation location in Europe, the Senate Department for Economic Affairs, Energy and Enterprises and the European Social Fund+ established a new funding instrument – the Berlin Startup Scholarship for Women. It supports female founders with an innovative, technology-based start-up concept in the further development of their prototype until it enters the market. The newly established female founder scholarship is intended to specifically support women in order to increase female founded startups in the Berlin Startup Ecosystem.
The Startup Incubator Berlin is a strong supporter of female empowerment, female entrepreneurship and diversity. We are highly motivated to strive for a higher female founders rate and for that we receive an extensive support from experts, mentors, alumni, ecomomic leaders, the industry and economy of Berlin.
