The University of Leicester Innovation Hub is teaming up with the Leicester Startups community to celebrate women in innovation for International Women’s Day.

The celebration will kick off with a screening of ‘She Started It’; a feature length documentary film on women tech entrepreneurs shot on location in Silicon Valley, NYC, Europe, Vietnam, Mississippi & more. The documentary highlights the stories of dynamic, driven and inspiring female entrepreneurs and is the first film to show the behind the scenes of running a tech start-up as a woman.

The screening will be followed by facilitated café conversations designed to help you to explore how to access the help you need, from finance, to flexible workspace to networks to help you succeed in business. Join us to feel inspired and get started!
