Third time's a charm.

For the third consecutive year, Tawkr is on the Amazing Ladies jury by La French Tech Lille. Alexandre Vassel, our Director of Group External Affairs and Strategic Partnerships, represents Tawkr at this 2026 edition.

A presence that owes nothing to chance — and that says something about what we believe in.

What is Amazing Ladies?

Amazing Ladies is THE annual programme run by La French Tech Lille that spots, boosts and celebrates women entrepreneurs in Tech and Innovation across the Hauts-de-France region.

Concretely, it's a competition and a club to accelerate your business. For laureates: press visibility, multichannel support, financial mentoring, CSR support, financial award. And above all, the celebration of female entrepreneurship role models in Tech and Innovation.

Who can apply?

The programme targets women entrepreneurs who tick three boxes: working in Tech or Innovation, developing an ambitious project, and based in the Hauts-de-France region.

How to apply?

Applications are open until 20 September 2026, 23:59. You need to complete the application form, attach a presentation of up to 5 slides and a short startup presentation video (1min30 max).

Pre-selected candidates will be invited to a 100% tailored day on Wednesday 30 September, followed by the awards ceremony at 7:30pm where the 3 Amazing Ladies 2026 laureates will be unveiled.

Why Tawkr is committed to this programme

Three years in a row. Not a coincidence.

At Tawkr, we deeply believe in female entrepreneurship in tech. We are convinced that women who start businesses deserve to be visible, supported and celebrated. And we are certain that companies like ours have a role to play in this ecosystem — not just as spectators, but as actors.

Concrete commitment, not a posture

Being on the Amazing Ladies jury is a concrete way of practising what we preach. It means giving time, expertise and attention to projects led by women who are building in an ecosystem that remains underrepresented.
