Seeking partners. WOMEN GREEN AI – Building a Consortium for Women-Led Digital and Sustainable Innovation (Horizon Europe CL2)

WOMEN GREEN AI aims to build a European consortium addressing gender inequalities in the digital and sustainable transition by empowering women entrepreneurs to leverage artificial intelligence and digital technologies for positive societal and environmental impact.

Aligned with Horizon Europe Cluster 2 priorities and Sustainable Development Goal 5 (gender equality), the project focuses on supporting women-led innovation across sectors such as health, education, architecture, and energy. It seeks to enhance women’s participation in the digital economy and promote their access to leadership roles in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The project will combine research and innovation activities, including large-scale data collection across European countries, cross-country comparative analysis, and stakeholder engagement. A key component is the ethical use of AI, with a particular focus on identifying and mitigating technological biases that may reinforce gender inequalities. The project aims to generate evidence-based insights on the barriers and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs in tech, while co-developing policy and practical recommendations to foster a more inclusive and sustainable innovation ecosystem in Europe. We are currently looking to build a multidisciplinary and transnational consortium including research institutions, universities, innovation hubs, NGOs, and industry partners committed to gender equality, digital transformation, and sustainabily.
