WEgate: supporting women in building their businesses with a clear vision and agility.
A growing number of associations and investors are working to support women entrepreneurs across Europe.
Each of them is helping to spread awareness and key information in the community and offers a gateway to their country’s market to support women across Europe in their entrepreneurial projects.
WEgate was a COSME-funded initiative.
WEgate supports women entrepreneurs (WEs) and organisations, as well as institutions and initiatives supporting WEs in their collective endeavours towards more inclusive business ecosystems where WEs are counted and adequately represented. WEgate is supported by ESBA.
WEgate supporters and partners
The European Small Business Alliance (ESBA) is a non-party political group, which cares for small business entrepreneurs and the self-employed and represents them through targeted EU advocacy and profiling activities.
ESBA is proud to have served as the Project Lead for the COSME Programme Project alongside esteemed partners, including Business Angels Europe, the Foundation for Management and Industrial Research (MIR) North Macedonia, and Professor Thomas Cooney of the Republic of Ireland. ESBA’s collaboration has been instrumental in driving the success of WEgate, born as an online platform dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs through community engagement and knowledge sharing. Since its inception in February 2020, WEgate has been committed to providing women entrepreneurs with access to valuable networking opportunities, mentorship, and resources for business growth.
As WEgate transitions into an association, ESBA continues to play a pivotal role as a prime supporter, further cementing our dedication to fostering entrepreneurship and gender equality in business.
Before becoming a non-profit association, WEgate was a COSME-funded initiative.
