Nova Women in Business was founded on March 8th of 2016 on International Women’s day at Nova School of Business and Economics by a group of Masters and Bachelor students.

​

This group of students saw the need for a movement like this to be born, given their wish to empower young women to become future leaders and reduce all forms of the gender gap in Portugal and beyond. Their movement started by providing university students and the community with the chance of getting to know more and discussing this subject. 

​

The club is a pioneering initiative in Portugal, inspired by other Women in Business clubs at the London School of Economics and Political Science and at Harvard Business School.
