We Support, Promote and Connect Women Entrepreneurs

Our community is for everybody

Whether you are still thinking about starting a business, just started or you are running a successful empire!

Our programs

At International Creative Women, we empower and connect women through diverse activities focused on entrepreneurship, networking, and social integration. Our work is divided into three key areas:

1. Empowering Entrepreneurs

We provide the support, tools, and knowledge needed to start and run a successful business in the Netherlands. Through workshops, mentoring, and practical resources, we help women develop entrepreneurial skills and navigate the complexities of the Dutch business landscape. Our goal is to equip you with everything you need to turn your dreams into a successful business

2. Creating Opportunities

We connect women with a network of entrepreneurs, organizations, and companies in the region. By facilitating networking events, co-creation projects, and business growth opportunities, we help you expand your reach and grow your business. Whether you're looking to collaborate, find new clients, or explore partnerships, we provide the platforms and connections you need to succeed.

3. Fostering Social Cohesion

Integration is at the heart of our mission. We organize various social activities to help women and their families build strong social networks and feel at home in the Netherlands. We also promote the use of Dutch to aid in cultural integration, for example:

Dutch for Teens: Every Saturday, children aged 10 to 14 come to Creative Town to learn Dutch, get help with their homework, and socialize with peers. This program not only enhances their language skills but also supports their academic and social development.

Dutch Craft Camp. Practice dutch in a fun and safe environment

Connecting

Spending time with like-minded individuals has a direct impact on your own mindset. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely, We are here to have your back!

Learning

Continuous learning is crucial for entrepreneurs.

We offer workshops, feedback meetings and training sessions to help you start, grow or improve.

Promoting

We love to support and promote local entrepreneurs using our network, media channels and our online and offline activities

“Being associated with International Creative Women has been the highlight of my expat life in Eindhoven! Thanks to them, I have had the opportunity of attending various talks, conversing with talented ladies, and getting motivation from people who understand me and my situation.

I also started my business during their Online Market! Without their proactiveness, it would've taken me forever to do that ”
