About WomenWay
The network for business women

 

Because Women Matter

 

For over 10 years, from 2009 until 2020, we have been connecting business women with each other and with leaders from business, science and politics.

 

At our events, we shared background knowledge from female entrepreneurs, executives, board members and other inspiring speakers.

 

Our mentoring program has brought together mentors and mentees from our network. The WomenWay mentoring program is now being continued by GetDiversity. Read more
