WOMEN4CLIMATE LISBOA

3, 2, 1... And Women4Climate Lisboa is launched! It is a training and mentoring programme and aims to support and inspire women entrepreneurs to become the next generation of leaders in the field of climate action and environmental sustainability.
Lisbon is Green Capital 2020 and joined the C40 network - a worldwide network of cities committed to adopting climate action measures -, which makes everything come together and bear green fruits (get it? 😉)! We are looking - along with the Lisbon City Council and Casa do Impacto / SCML - for women entrepreneurs with projects and ideas in the following areas: energy, mobility, water, noise, air quality and combating climate change, and new business models that favour the circular economy and promote biodiversity!
If we aroused your curiosity and want to know more, visit Women4Climate Lisboa and clear all your doubts. Apply!

HEEL TREAD

Yes, this is an art gallery and on display are the new Curator Socks - the latest brand of Heel Tread's entrepreneurs! They started with iconic car models, scored at football and now moved to the studio to produce the most beautiful works of art for the feet (or the wall, as you wish 😏). But that's not everything: as we also pay a lot of attention to numbers, we think that the masterpiece will be the fact that they earned € 330K in 2018, € 870K in 2019 and exported 99.7% of sales without any investment or subsidy (oh yeah, nothing!). Are you going to say that you were not curious to go and take a look at the site? Well, then go! 👆
