The WaW Team

We are dreamers, we are shapers, we are what we want to be!
WaW reflects the need to support women in developing new types of business skills, including innovation and entrepreneurship (through for example, idea generation, problem solving, critical thinking, and cross-cultural communication skills).
We also focus on the emerging social technology of crowd-funding, which can play an important role in getting new business concepts funded.
By providing training and education that supports strengths-based skills development and the practical application of having entrepreneurial ideas funded, we aim to help women realize their dreams.
“All economic sectors are currently in the throes of restructuring, which itself needs to be seen against a background of endeavours to shore up and improve the EU’s competitiveness and to re-direct the European economy towards fresh activities with a higher added value and capable of generating new and better jobs” (European Commission, 2013,’ Transferability of Skills across Economic Sectors’.

Through economic restructuring, the skills that are needed are continually changing. Developing skills that foster innovation and entrepreneurial initiative are becoming more and more critical.

The main objective of WaW project is to facilitate more effective provision of collective business and innovation support services to ensure women understand and take advantage of the opportunities offered by new ICT tools.

Specific objectives of the proposed project are to:

  • improve access to knowledge
  • increase levels of co-operation and competence regarding ICT tools
  • set up mechanisms for developing, sharing and dissemination of effective approaches in supporting innovative entrepreneurship
  • develop a training tool for women to acquire new competences and skills

WaW also aims to improve the qualification of women through the promotion of a series of traversal skills like creativity, initiative, problem solving, risk assessment and decision taking and finally, to increase women’s awareness of innovation and technology approaches to combat difficulties and setbacks during the innovation generation process.
