Accomplishments
Sustainable Development
Our intensive four-week program empowers female entrepreneurs to address healthcare challenges. Combining online and onsite training in Vienna, it imparts in-depth knowledge of healthcare issues and fosters design thinking and innovation skills. Recognizing gender-specific hurdles like societal bias and limited funding access, we equip participants to navigate these challenges effectively. My role includes program development, consortium formation, and ensuring adherence to EIT Health standards. With 250 applicants, the program successfully trained the top 100 female talents, enabling them to make a meaningful impact in healthcare entrepreneurship. Our initiative not only contributes to healthcare problem-solving but also advances gender diversity in entrepreneurship, benefitting society as a whole.
