We are extremely proud to announce that Isabelle Walsh, CEO of Scanlitt and the leader of our project, is one of the winners selected as part of the prestigious program Women TechEU — a European Commission initiative dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs in Deep Tech.
Women TechEU: a program of excellence for women managers of tech start-ups
Women TechEU is much more than a program: it is a true label of excellence which recognizes the technological and strategic potential of European start-ups led by women. On call for projects no. 3, only 40 projects were selected from 1038 applications, or an acceptance rate of 3.85%.
Thanks to this program, we benefit from a subvention that we will use to, in particular:
- Accelerating our technological development
- Strengthen our R&D efforts in artificial intelligence
- Structuring our growth strategy at European level
- Recruiting staff
- ...
“This support is all the more valuable as less than 2% of investments in deep tech innovation in Europe today go to businesses run by women. This number is both a wake-up call... and a powerful motivator. It is also a personal resonance. Since the beginning of my career, I have often worked in environments where women were poorly represented — whether in research or in the tech world. For me, this program is a recognition of this long-standing commitment: creating, innovating, transmitting, and paving the way for other women in deep tech.” Isabelle Walsh, CEO & Founder
Scanlitt: artificial intelligence at the service of scientific research
At Scanlitt, we are developing innovative AI solutions to transform the way researchers, students, doctors, and consultants access scientific knowledge. Our mission:
make literature reviews faster, more reliable, more inclusive.
We believe that artificial intelligence can revolutionize research, by making it:
- More reachable for all audiences
- More efficient thanks to the automation of time-consuming tasks
- More open thanks to cutting-edge scientific data analyses
A committed team at the heart of the European deep tech ecosystem
To be laureates of Women TechEU, it also means joining a network of women tech leaders that carry out high-impact projects, in Europe and beyond. We are convinced that diversity is a driver of innovation, and we are proud to contribute actively to it.
“A huge thank you to the European Commission and to the program team Women TechEU for their trust. Congratulations to all the winners: deep tech needs all voices to go further.” Isabelle Walsh, CEO & Founder
