​📅 Saturday 11 July | 10:00am – 5:00pm

​🏆 Prizes and founder opportunities to be announced

​🎓 CPD Accredited

​Most people never build because they think they need permission.

​They think they need a technical co-founder.

​They think they need funding.

​They think they need more experience.

​They think they need to be "ready."

​The truth?

​The future belongs to people who start.

​The WiBT Founder Activation Programme is an immersive two-day experience designed to help women move from ideas to action using AI, Web3, and emerging technologies.

​Together, we'll explore modern tools and emerging technologies while building the foundations of a venture, product, project, or solution that matters to you.

​No coding experience required.

​Why Attend?

​Whether you're:

• ​exploring your first idea,

• ​sitting on a project you've never launched,

• ​building quietly on the side,

• ​or wondering if you're "accelerator-ready",

​this programme is designed to help you take the next step.

​In particular, we aim to support women who may not yet see themselves as founder-ready or accelerator-ready, but who are ready to begin building.

​What You'll Walk Away With

​By the end of the weekend you will have:

​✅ Greater clarity around the problem you want to solve

​✅ A stronger understanding of ownership, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies

​✅ A product, project, or venture concept

​✅ Practical experience using modern AI-powered tools

​✅ New collaborators, mentors, and ecosystem connections

​✅ A roadmap for your next steps

​Selected participants may also be invited to apply for future WiBT accelerator programmes.
