CASE HIGHLIGHT
Womenture
A practical example of our role in the Horizon Europe project:
Challenge Female founders outside startup hubs often lack access to tailored acceleration, validation tools, and investor visibility.
DEX IC’s role We co-designed and delivered a 7-week pre-acceleration programme as part of the Horizon Europe project Womenture. Our team provided mentoring, validation support, and investor pitch training for 20 early-stage startups.
Outcome Participants pitched to international stakeholders at the Female Founders Summit in Tallinn. Several startups moved toward pilot testing and follow-up investment.
“Thanks to DEX IC’s support, we turned our idea into a real business case and pitched it at an international investor summit.” Tereza Moravcová, Founder of Vetee, a participant in the Womenture pre-accelerator
