How To Create Resilient Female Networks
Be it in a social context, such as family or friends, that support us, or on a professional level – everyone relies on resilient networks. But for female founders, building and expanding as well as accessing resilient networks continues to be a hurdle that needs to be overcome. With this panel, we address this challenge and talk about different experiences and approaches.

How To Feminize The Startup Ecosystem Ruhr
Although the share of female startups has increased on a national average, we are lagging behind in the Ruhr region: Only 12.1% of startups were led by female founders in 2022, and we are still far from parity on a national level. How can we motivate women in the Ruhr region to be more courageous in founding startups? And how can we make the Ruhr region more accessible to female founders?

GründerAllianz RUHR x BRYCK:
FEMALE BOOSTER
With business models at socially decisive interfaces such as education, social affairs, medicine and health, female startups tie in with traditional topics resulting from the montan industry. As a result, they often deal with challenges that pay into a livable future. In order to carry the founding spirit of the past into the future and to include innovations by women in social, economic and ecological transformation processes, Gründerallianz Ruhr and BRYCK teamed up, to promote female startups with their Gründerallianz Ruhr x BRYCK: Female Booster.
To give them the stage they deserve, our Female Booster startups will be part of our HERHOOD program at ruhrSUMMIT 2023 and get a chance to show you what they are capable of in their pitches live on HER Stage.
