Our Mission
FEM is an initiative supporting and empowering female talents. We focus especially on female university students.
Founded in 2020, we are the first student organized initiative of its kind striving towards equality in the workplace. In our opinion, Female Leadership affects everyone.
Our Founding Story
Our Core Values
FEM was founded by two female WHU students. During their internship, they came up with the idea of Fem, an initiative that connects female students with women in business as well as role models, empowering them and advancing their skills.

We are connected to Top Tier universities in Germany and beyond and are currently building a university network.
Why now?
Through Leadership Programs, females are more likely to emerge as leaders (Women in the Workplace Report). FEM aspires to provide such a program for students and professionals alike, encouraging and inspiring them to shape the future.
Research shows that company profits and share performance can be close to 50 percent lower when women are not well represented at the top. (McKinsey & Company).
