FOWOSE

A HUGE GENDER ISSUE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This project came about at the initiative of Pulse, who was confronted with gender issues both in the selection of entrepreneurs and in the subsequent support provided. 

This led to Pulse’s desire and need for support and an outside perspective on its practices. 

The Fowose project stems from a shared desire by its partners to increase the inclusion of gender in their practices and to promote female entrepreneurship in Europe. 

By creating specific support content for organisations and enabling them to share their good practice, providing better training and opportunities for women entrepreneurs. In turn, these tools and methods will be disseminated regionally, nationally and across Europe to create a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem for women.

This project is part of a wider ecosystem support initiative. 

As well as setting up a pathway and providing support for women entrepreneurs, the aim is to take a more systemic approach. 

The tools we produce will provide a framework for the future. In this way, we will have a wider impact on the entrepreneurial ecosystem and not just on women entrepreneurs. 

In this way, the structures will take better account of women’s needs.

1# in the way women entrepreneurs are selected.

2# in measuring gender-sensitive impact.

3# in organising communication to make it as inclusive as possible.

4# in the way women are trained and supported on inclusion issues.
