Princeton University will host Empower 2023, a global conference and pitch competition celebrating women academic entrepreneurs on April 26-28 online.

The Empower conference promotes diversity, equity and inclusion by celebrating and empowering academic entrepreneurs who are committed to these efforts, including those from historically underrepresented groups. You are welcome to attend the entire conference and pitch competition or any portions that are of particular interest to you. Each of the three days focuses on important phases of a startup’s journey: Day one on launching; day two on funding; and day three on scaling.

  • Lisa Mueller, Shareholder, Casimir Jones

  • Craig B. Arnold, Vice Dean for Innovation, Princeton University

The Empower 2023 Pitch Competition on April 27 will feature over $135,000 of cash and in-kind prizes for the winners, including a first-place cash prize of $100K and a bundle of in-kind legal services. Your ticket for Empower includes admission to the Pitch Competition.
