About this Event
Title: Rewriting the Innovation Playbook
Big ideas. Bold women. New ways to build.
TechFoundHer is bringing the energy to Belfast Tech Week with a founder-powered event for women who are building, experimenting, creating and turning ambitious ideas into real products, platforms and businesses.
Rewriting the Innovation Playbook brings together a powerful line-up of women founders who are challenging assumptions about what innovation looks like, who gets to build technology, and how great ideas move from concept to reality.
You’ll hear from:
Shelley Cowan — Equoria XP
Angela Wilson — Silver Apples Digital
Victoria Finlay — The Menopal
Máirín Murray — TechFoundHer
Donna McCullough — D3M Trades
Varshitha Manjunath — Aphom Ltd
Expect founder stories, hard-won lessons, fresh thinking and plenty of straight-talking insight into what it actually takes to build.
These are women creating solutions across different sectors, tackling real-world problems and using technology in ways that are practical, ambitious and seriously exciting.
Thank you to the fab MCS Group for hosting us! This event is part of #BelfastTechWeek - a week of events curated by the tech community, for the tech community.
And there’s big WeBuild news…
We’re excited to announce that applications for the next WeBuild cohort open on Monday 7 September 2026, with the programme starting in January 2027.
At this event, we’ll give you the inside track on WeBuild — what the programme offers, who it’s designed for, what the experience is like and how to apply.
If you’ve got an idea you can’t stop thinking about, a problem you know needs solving, or the beginnings of a tech-powered product or venture, come and find out what could happen next.
WeBuild is about helping ambitious women founders move from idea to action, and from action to build — with practical tools, expert support, emerging technology and a community around you.
