Description

The HerTechVenture project addresses the need for closing the gender gap in Tech entrepreneurship by addressing the factors that impede women from pursuing careers in tech. As such, the project addresses the needs of higher education institutions to provide more gender inclusive environments for female students and also address the needs of women students for increasing their confidence and entrepreneurial skills in tech. To achieve these goals the project will develop the following results: the HerTechVenture Theory of Change, the GenderWise training programme for educators, the HerTechVenture entrepreneurship programme that will include a hackathon curriculum, a mentoring scheme and digital resources, HerTechVenture Entrepreneurship Academy (implemented in 5 countries) and the organization of a final award event in Poland.
