WomenINvestEU Opening Breakfast

The WomenINvestEU team is launching an invitation for the project’s Opening Breakfast on 14 March 2025, in Paris.

Join us for an insightful morning with high-level European investors, tackling critical questions such as how to raise awareness for investment into women-led businesses and build gender-balanced Venture Capital (VC) teams.

The WomenINvestEU Opening Breakfast will take at the premises of Bpifrance,  the French public investment bank and one of the partners implementing the WomenINvestEU project. The event will kick off at 08:30 CET on 24 Rue Drouot, 75009 Paris, and close at 11:00 CET.

For investors, 14 March will be a crucial time to come to Paris, with Hello Tomorrow’s Global Summit bringing industry leaders, entrepreneurs and investors to the city. In the afternoon, WomenINvestEU will also be present at the conference, and those joining the event are also invited to attend our panel on Empowering Women in Finance, for which Global Summit attendees can register here.
