"Women Innovate" is a one-year campaign led by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (RTD), which highlights how women contribute to innovation and entrepreneurship, promote gender equality in these fields and sheds light on other relevant EU initiatives.
Equality between women and men is a fundamental principle of our Union - most recently through the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2021-2025, where women and men, girls and boys, in all their diversity, are free to pursue their chosen path in life, have equal opportunities to thrive, and can equally participate in and lead our European society.
On 8 March 2023, DG RTD launched the #WomenInnovate campaign to celebrate the women behind game-changing innovations.
12 video interviews feature successful women entrepreneurs, innovators and business-leaders who showcase how they have overcome challenges, broken down barriers, and achieved remarkable success in different areas.
Each month, a video homes in on a topic selected from across different policy areas, such as Environment, Sport, Digitalization, Culture, Industry, and Education, among many others, and showcases different women innovator from several EU Member States who explain the challenges that they have faced and how the EU has helped them in growing their business through our policies, funding programmes and awards.
#WomenInnovate seeks to inspire and empower more women to become innovators and entrepreneurs, as well as giving visibility and recognition to the many exceptional achievements of women supported by the European Commission.
