About We Rise & StartupAmsterdam

We Rise is a female hub project based in Amsterdam, aiming for gender equality and diversity in digital and tech-related workplaces. In collaboration with other female partner organizations, We Rise’s cornerstones are to collect ecosystem data and strengthen knowledge and network opportunities, and to increase visibility and representation of female entrepreneurs and women in the tech sector in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region and beyond. The We Rise program evolves around tech courses and training, workshops, mentoring sessions, networking events, and much more.

Created in 2015, StartupAmsterdam is an action programme run by the City of Amsterdam that brings the public and private sectors together to support the startups, scale-ups, entrepreneurs, and other players in the local ecosystem. By taking part in dozens of projects and initiatives promoting innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship, it has helped the Dutch capital become a major player in the global scene.
