Last monday evening there was a lot of girlpower going on in our kitchen, seen 3 friends and I were brainstorming about a new company. Woman and business, it is a more evident choice than ever. Demonstrated also by all these great initiatives that are being taken to promote women and business – some already existing for some time, others brand new. For us, it meant a great boost for our own creativity to know that there is so much support out there!
So for all you entrepreneuring girls, here is a list of all the ones we like so far!
- Brusselsgirlgeekdinner organised by bnox => we are still looking for a technology chick to join us, and somehow I am convinced we will find her there! www.brusselsgirlgeekdinner.be
- Womenslab.org => boost innovation and creativity among and by women. A new initiative taken bij Jan from the well know AddictLab. www.womenslab.org
- Com’eva startersaward => www.comeva.be
- Markant VZW => networking but actually so much more than that! www.markantvzw.be
All initiatives by and for women, you go girls!
