Athena Festival 2026

Join us on October 7, 2026 at 9:30 AM (BST) at Nexus - University of Leeds for the Athena Festival, the largest female founder festival outside of London. This dynamic celebration of inclusion, innovation, and investment is inspired by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, bravery, and resourcefulness.

The festival brings together ambitious entrepreneurs, investors, industry leaders, and changemakers for a day of powerful connections, practical insights, and transformative opportunities. Athena is not just about celebrating women in business but accelerating their access to capital, influence, and opportunity.
