Women in Climate Tech EU

Women in Climate Tech EU is Europe’s first female-only network dedicated to founders and investors within the climate tech sector. We are here to connect, inspire, and empower women who are shaping our new tomorrow. 

With women making up only 20% of founders and receiving a mere 2% of global VC funding, we recognized the need for a dedicated space where female leaders in climate tech can thrive. That’s why we created Women in Climate Tech EU – a safe, supportive, and energetic community where women can connect and collaborate. 

Our mission: Bringing more women to the forefront of climate innovation!

Lea Scholdan and Lia Carlucci, Founders
