This year Mayor’s Entrepreneur programme 2018 chose top 10 female entrepreneurs to support their innovative ideas. I as a founder of Ayswap made it into the final 10 and will be part of Women4Climate Mentoring Scheme 2018 supported by Mayor of London and C40 organisation.
C40 is one of the world’s greatest network that is tackling the climate issues and taking actions for better, greener cities around the world. The program offers “10 of its female contestants with the most potential and the most original ideas” (here) mentorship as part of London’s celebrations of 100 years since women gained the right to vote in the UK.
There were over 450 entries and the programme was open to all students across UK universities, so I am delighted that Ayswap made it so far. I am excited to start with the mentorship programme and looking forward to have an impact and make London a greener and better city to live in.
“These young talents will be matched with committed leaders from the business sector, international organisations and civil society for a 6 months mentoring scheme. The mentors will guide them in developing their passion for the environment and their future careers.” (here) Congratulations to my Ayswap.
