WomenEntrepreneurs4Good 3.0
Supporting women-led change

Launched in March 2021 by the Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society, in partnership with HEC Paris Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center, and supported as of this year by Bank of America, WomenEntrepreneurs4Good was imagined as a concrete solution to the negative impacts of the crisis on women entrepreneurs.

The initiative is a unique accelerator programme that supports green entrepreneurs at the early stages of their journey. The 7-month online programme equips women entrepreneurs with unique resources and capabilities to innovate and grow their businesses by providing coaching, visibility, technical support, exposure and access to an ecosystem of stakeholders and global partners.
