Qualcomm Women Entrepreneurship India Network

India is one of the largest ecosystems for start-ups globally, with digital transformation providing a significant tailwind for new ventures and start-ups across sectors. Within this exists a rich landscape of technology startups, however the number of companies owned or run by women is still significantly fewer.

With the belief that corporates can do more to enable women in the technology startup ecosystem, Qualcomm India launched the Qualcomm Women Entrepreneurship India Network (QWEIN) program, a mentorship program for women entrepreneurs in the deep tech space to help them unlock the full potential of their businesses.

QWEIN focuses on women founded early-stage tech startups. The objective is to help entrepreneurs build scalable organizations. As a part of the program, the startups get 1:1 mentorship from the senior Qualcomm leadership, masterclasses covering the business topics including product strategy, IP strategy, marketing, leadership, and more. Opportunities to connect with potential system integrators, customers, and venture capitalists to further their business and scale prospects would be facilitated as well.

With its 4^th edition, QWEIN 2024 aims to mentor deep tech space across various industries.
