SUPERNOVAS is back!

The EIT Community flagship programme aimed at increasing the number of women in the entrepreneurship ecosystem and the investment industry is launching its second edition, after the success achieved in 2022.

This year, SUPERNOVAS is bringing new and fresh activities in addition to the ones already grown last year, such as Women2Invest, Rocket Up and the Women Leadership Programme.

The major SUPERNOVAS update is the Women Investors Community that has been conceived like a space where female investors can learn (through online training courses), connect with peers and colleagues (through networking events) and find investment opportunities (through a series of investment forums).

SUPERNOVAS consolidation in 2023 is excellent news, specially considering its success last year. This proves that actions and initiatives like this, aimed at increasing gender balance, are  still very neccessary.
