UP! - Women in Brussels & Le techspace
Ce projet s'adresse aux femmes entrepreneurs sous-représentées à Bruxelles qui souhaitent créer un projet entrepreneurial dans le secteur technologique. Il vise en particulier les femmes issues de communes à fort taux de chômage (Molenbeek, Anderlecht, Forest, Bruxelles-Ville, Schaerbeek) ainsi que les profils fortement discriminés sur le marché de l'emploi.
Les projets que nous ciblons sont des projets à fort impact, et nous voulons soutenir ceux dont les projets technologiques ont un réel impact positif sur la société.
