Inclusive Innovation: Ensuring No one is Left Behind

This event will empower social innovations designed by women from low socio-economic backgrounds, particularly those who are eager to start their own businesses or become integral parts of Scotland's vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Melting Pot and DataKirk will collaborate to offer practical workshops, networking opportunities and insightful talks from successful female entrepreneurs who have navigated similar paths. Whether you have a business idea already or are looking to gain the skills and connections to develop an idea, let us be your guides in turning aspirations into reality.

Secure your spot today and keep a look out for details of our speakers, to be released soon.

What is DataKirk and why is it important for female founders to feel inspired?

Datakirk launched AccelerateBLK in 2023 with a focus to help gain visibility for women enterpreneurs. Having completed an accelerator programme, the yet-to-be founders are eager to innovate, create impactful social solutions, and contribute to a diverse and inclusive economy, which will ultimately benefit the nation as a whole. Female founders will love to be inspired, particularly in sectors like social innovation where creativity, resilience, and leadership are paramount. Inspiration empowers women to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams with confidence and determination, driving them to overcome the unique challenges they face in the business world. By providing access to resources, mentorship, and a supportive community, we believe this initiative in collaboration with Melting Pot Edinburgh will help further close the gender gap in Scotland's entrepreneurial ecosystem. This programme will support individual growth and also help break down systemic barriers, paving the way for future generations of women in business.

We offer regular events for our community, from exciting talks with Scotland’s leading Social Innovators to practical help with your business. We love helping people meet, learn and connect so we make sure almost all our events are open to everyone.

Note : We know £8 might be a bit of a surprise to attend an event, but there’s a social innovation purpose to this price. We're not only covering our staffing and preparatory costs for external events; we also reinvest our event profits back into fostering social innovation and impact in Scotland. Your ticket price, as well as any coworking membership or venue hire request, enables us to do that.
