EIT Supernova Calls and Activities 2026 - Supporting, Training, Mentoring Female Innovators and Investors

Supernova calls and activities 2026 have the goal to support female CEOs, company founders and investors. 

European Institute of Innovation and Technologies (EIT) Supernovas exists to unlock Europe’s full potential by improving gender diversity in entrepreneurship and investment, empowering women founders and investors to drive lasting change.

EIT Community Supernovas is a collaborative network of the EIT long-term partnerships (KICs), working together to drive systemic change across key areas like climate change, energy, health, food, mobility, raw materials, digitalisation, urban mobility, culture and creativity. The initiative is led by EIT Urban Mobility, EIT Food, and 28DIGITAL.

Here some upcoming calls and activities:

- Rocket Up - The Rocket Up programme empowers women-led startups to scale across Europe through market entry opportunities, business validation, and access to expert know-how.

- Data Room in a nutshell - Supernovas Data Room is a comprehensive, searchable dashboard that profiles EIT-supported women-led startups with rich data such as financials, funding rounds, team roles, job openings, market maps and news.

- Women2Invest - A programme designed to empower women with STEAM backgrounds to confidently step into the VC world.
The next call will be launched in September on training on investment. This EIT call  is for an online 6 weeks bootcamp for women VC investors across Europe to strengthen their skills, expand their networks, and accelerate their careers in venture capital. Successful applications offer a programme and support system for women entering entrepreneurship. 


Whether you’re a woman founder, investor, or ecosystem leader, you can join these events and connect with like-minded people.
