Keep in touch with us and the EWA community!

Open community with training, resources and networking opportunities for women entrepreneurs in the agrifood sector.

After EWA programme I feel better prepared to deal with the entrepreneurial world. We are eager to go forward through EIT Food programmes.

The EWA programme changed the way I looked at my entrepreneurship. At first I just wanted to have a small Spirulina farm that would allow me to work as a biologist. Now I have realised that I can do my bit to create a sustainable future and make this extraordinary food available to everyone.
