Initial situation

Women start up less frequently, smaller and more out of necessity because they otherwise lack self-confidence. Women are involved in the founding of only four out of ten companies. Moreover, studies show that investments are less frequent in "women-owned businesses".

Target groups and their benefits

The project Inspire Us! is aimed at aspiring female entrepreneurs between the ages of 25 and 40 who have developed important soft skills and expertise through their employment and are in a phase of indecision about starting their own business. In addition, women are addressed who have already made this decision for themselves but lack the motivation and strength to continue their project.

Project goal

The aim of the Inspire Us! project is to empower young women and to strengthen and encourage them on their way to starting a business. For this purpose, an innovative further education programme and target group-specific tools are being developed that tie in with models of current practice and introduce women to the "winner" mentality so that gender equality is achieved.
