In the knowledge that female innovators are essential to a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, we've created and curated a programme that supports our incredible female founders here at the School.
elleSE, Europe's first university accelerator for female founders with an exclusive focus on global social impact, is a tailor-made programme based on years of work with female entrepreneurs, analysing their unique strengths as well as their particular needs for specific support.
elleSE seeks to recognise the specific opportunities available while also addressing the common issues female entrepreneurs face, providing them with ongoing business support, seed funding a resource hub and providing a relevant network to tap into.
