THE EWA ECOSYSTEM

EWA believes in a collaborative nature of work. Over the last decade we have been nurturing our relationships with main key stakeholders that contribute to the economic growth of women internationally. We have identified four important players in women’s economic development.

Founders
EWA serves the gender diverse early stage startups and scaleups, with knowledge, matchmaking and access to markets.
Public Sector
Government plays a crucial role when it comes to policy making and financial support of new sustainable initiatives led by women. EWA works with Ministries of Economies, Trade departments and the European Commission, aiming to boost economic growth of female founders internationally.
Corporations
We carefully choose our corporate partners that share our values and mission to get more women into leadership roles. We believe the startup ecosystem is a great place for innovation.
Investors
Our funding initiatives commit to supporting the progression of women led startups from early stage to Series A with the aim to intelligently decrease the gender gap prevalent in the investment landscape by initially targeting Stage 1 (Deal Flow) and Stage 2 (Pitch) of the investment process.
