Who’s

behind?

With the support of leading partners in technology and women-focused innovation, we have built this collective to host the largest FemTech hackathon in Europe and the first one in Brussels. Creating something like this takes vision, passion, and the right mix of talent. We are proud to have brought together a team that has all of that and more.
