UN SDGs
UN Sustainable Development Goals
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years.
For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you and us.
At WA4STEAM we believe in solving the challenges of gender equality, diversity and financial independence as well as building in the promising fields of technological innovation. Through our angel investing activity supporting women-led startups we will contribute to several of these objectives.
Goal 4
Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
We, at WA4STEAM, by providing seed capital to STEAM women-led projects, are encouraging them to follow STEAM related careers contributing to a more inclusive education and to consider entrepreneurship in technical aspects that will lead to lifelong learning through the creation of startups
Goal 5
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
We, at WA4STEAM, as an all women-led business angels platform provide an environment for accessing capital that avoids discriminatory practices and unconscious gender biases usually found in male business angel ecosystem. We aspire to set an example and rise the number of women angels and women led startups contributing to close the gender gap.
Goal 8
Goal 9
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation.
Supporting entrepreneurships in breakthrough STEAM fields in our priority selection among others, will foster innovation and promote a sustainable and resilient new industrial age. Technological progress is the foundation of efforts achieving environmental objectives, such as increased resource and energy-efficiency. Without technology & innovation, industrialization will not happen, and without industrialization, economic development.
