Intra & Entrepreneurship for Women
Doing, Serving and Investing as a Professional
Event Description:
This is where board dynamics meet entrepreneurial strategy and investor mind-set. The evening sits at the intersection of intrapreneurship: where women drive change from within established organisations, entrepreneurship: where they build ventures of their own and investor perspective: capital, networks, and knowledge as fuel for growth. ARYA Women and EWOB unlock a vital conversation: whether you're driving innovation within an established organisation, scaling your own venture, sitting on boards or acting as an investor, you need both lenses.
Most ambitious women leaders move between these worlds throughout their careers, and this is a chance to learn from those who have done so.
Why should people attend this program:
Three Expertise Layers, One Room
Most events pick a lane. This one doesn't. You'll learn from women who master corporate innovation, build ventures from scratch, and deploy capital strategically. The intersection is where real leadership happens.
Intimacy by Design
Only 40 guests. You'll actually know the people in the room—and they'll know you. In 40 people, you find your people.
