Women in Entrepreneurship Academy 2026

Women in Entrepreneurship: Health and Life Sciences

Join this English-language program to advance female entrepreneurship in health and life sciences and take action together with a community of diverse women entrepreneurs. Participants will validate their ideas and gain a crash course in all things entrepreneurship to launch and fund their ventures. Over the first 8 weeks of the program, participants will refine their project concepts and explore pathways to commercialization. At the end of the program, they may submit their proposal for the opportunity to be selected as one of 10 participants invited to the sponsored one-week program in the Bay Area to present to investors and startup leaders and deepen their understanding of opportunities in the health and life sciences innovation ecosystem.

This visit catalyzes the exchange of ideas and knowledge between the participants and successful women entrepreneurs who transitioned from scientific backgrounds to lead innovative tech companies and startups and build their transatlantic network. Participants will have lifelong access to the GUILD network.
