European Innovation Council (European Commission)
A European Commission initiative under the European Innovation Council providing female-led deep-tech startups with €75,000 in grant funding, business acceleration services, and access to the EIC investor network. The program targets companies in their early growth stages where women founders are significantly underrepresented, particularly in deep tech sectors such as AI, biotech, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. Women TechEU is part of the EU's broader effort to close the gender funding gap in the European startup ecosystem.
