Women Entrepreneurship Week @ HHL

Meet top female entrepreneurs @ HHL

For the second time now, Women@HHL and the Female Founders initiative of HHL will participate in the Women Entrepreneurship Week (WEW).

On 25th October 2019, we would like to invite you to a panel discussion with three female entrepreneurs and investors, who will share their experiences about common challenges faced along the (female) entrepreneurial journey. The panel will be hosted by Prof. Dr. Vivek Velamuri.

PITCH your idea

After that, a PITCH CONTEST will give entrepreneurs (consisting of teams with at least one female founder) the chance to convince our investors of their idea and win 500€.

Finally, you get the opportunity to NETWORK with likeminded people over some drinks and snacks.
