Have you ever felt like a start-up business that a decade of business experience would be helpful? As a leader in a large company, are you thinking about becoming an angel investor?
You are in the right place!
The Women / Business / Angels Association aims to connect stakeholders from business, governments, and NGOs in the region and organise training and club events to increase the number of business angel investors and innovative companies in CEE.
From the 1st of March, 2022, Women / Business / Angels will start its series of seven training courses with the partners of the WINGATE project members from five countries and HUBHUB Hungary. The event is open to female and male senior executives interested in the existing innovation ecosystem or start-ups looking for an investor or a mentor with global experience.
Through this seven-occasion initiative, Women / Business / Angels aim to share knowledge, ensure a place to ask questions, and help networking.
The training course leader is Imre Hild, managing director of Global Traction and the head of training of the Women / Business / Angels Association. Péter Csillag, the newly elected president of HUNBAN, will also perform on the first occasion on the 1st of March.

Background
The Women / Business / Angels Association
Women / Business / Angels Association aims to have more businesswomen, more innovation, more co-education to increase the innovation capacity of our region. With its partners, especially HUNBAN and other angel investor organisations, the Association is building a European best practice (Candace Johnson, President of EBAN 2017) to grow the presence of women in innovation decision-making. It involves and prepares women to become angel investors through its training courses and club events, and it does this in a region where the market economy dates back only 32 years.
