Women in Deep Tech | Drinks
✨ There are fewer women in all aspects of the deep tech ecosystem - but they exist and are doing amazing things! We're hosting an event for women in deep tech or those who are curious about it - founders, VCs, GPs, LPs, and connectors - to build new and lasting relationships to help each other make an impact on the world.
We hope you'll join us for wine, cheese 🍷🧀, and conversation with some of the most interesting women you will meet for a long time!
🚀 Hosted by IQ Capital, Commplicated, HCVC, Unlock VC and the European Innovation Fund.
This event is by invitation only. If you are no longer able to make it, please RSVP "NO" so we can offer your place to someone else.
Location: please register to see the exact location in central Paris.

About EIF
As part of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group, we design and deploy financial instruments, which enable banks, funds and other financial intermediaries to better serve SMEs. As a result, we attract more private capital into the SME space, we kick-start new financing markets and ecosystems, and ultimately make more financing available to SMEs across the EU and associated countries. We manage resources on behalf of the EIB, the European Commission (EC), national and regional authorities and other third parties.
The EIF is a public-private partnership, whose tripartite shareholding structure includes the EIB, the EU represented by the European Commission and various public and private financial institutions.
