On March 20, Sofyan Mbarki, Deputy Mayor of Amsterdam, will officially open the FREE GROWTH Training during the kick-off of the FEM-START 2025 program. "It is still significantly harder for female entrepreneurs to secure funding compared to men. This is not only unfair but also unwise, as biases lead to missed opportunities. That’s why it’s great to see this program investing in female entrepreneurs in Amsterdam—ensuring that we make full use of the opportunities in our society." Would you also like to learn everything about attracting growth capital, pitching, and building a strong network of female entrepreneurs?
