Women, Entrepreneurship & Impact
ZÉLIE is an independent organisation dedicated to women’s economic empowerment and women of impact worldwide, starting with Europe. We make it easier to find the women of impact in business, whose stories are rarely taught in formal education. We’re starting with the act of a simple conversation.
Take part100 Conversations with 100 Women of Impact.
ZÉLIE sits down with 100 women innovators, women in social impact, authors, entrepreneurs and business owners, both aspiring and experienced.
We learn what aspiring women of impact are facing, bring their questions to women with experience, and present every conversation in their own words.
Asked by the women who come next.
The questions come from aspiring women of impact: entrepreneurs, innovators and impact leaders in the making. They ask the women we interview what they wish they had known. How did you find your first customers or funders? What did you learn, and from whom? Who did you look up to? What would you tell the next woman?
Each woman reads her article before it is published.
Women entrepreneurs worldwide, starting with Europe.
Online globally, or in person in Belgium, the Netherlands or France for now. ZÉLIE is starting with Europe, but if you are anywhere else, you are welcome to take part too.
The women we should have met at university.
Formal business education rarely introduces the women running businesses and leading change. ZÉLIE makes them easier to find, so an aspiring woman can see what a business really looks like, from someone who runs one.
