Empower. Connect. Inspire.

Women are successful engineers. Women are Nobel Prize winners in the natural sciences. Women fly into space as astronauts. Female talent is indispensable for business and science. Femtec GmbH was founded in 2001 by EAF Berlin and the Berlin Institute of Technology with the aim of connecting female STEM students in business and science and supporting them in their personal career development.

Our vision

At Femtec, we know that female STEM talents can achieve anything they can imagine. We support them with targeted training, excellent industry contacts and a strong network. We promote and strengthen individuals who pursue clear goals and who are creative and courageous. In short: women who inspire others and want to play an active role in shaping our society and future.

Our vision is to establish diversity in the workforce of various companies so that male-dominated structures are broken down, to create space for a sustainable and socially fair society. In times of rapid technological progress, we create new opportunities for exchange and synergy – so that the diversity we strive for, with all its facets and perspectives, is represented in the world of tomorrow.

Strong Network

The Femtec Network forms a unique network of top class partners from business and science as well as students, graduates and the Femtec Alumnae e. V.

Even as a Career-Building Programme scholarship holder, you will get to know a large number of young women who – just like you – are enthusiastic about technology and science. Together with the employees of the Femtec partner companies, you will work on proposed solutions for current technical topics. In many cities, Femtec students and graduates continue to meet even after the successful completion of the programme, to exchange information about internships and share advice and experience about everyday working life.
