INDUSTRIENS FOND

ProWoc – Professional Women of Colour Denmark and Industriens Fond have teamed up to increase #diversity in the Danish business sector. Increasing diversity can #accelerate industry #competitiveness and therefore Danish companies must become better at utilizing all talents in Denmark.

With the grant to ProWoC, Industriens Fond takes another step in its work to further diversity and promote #inclusion in the Danish business sector.

The new initiative will mainly focus on supporting and expanding ProWoc’s networking events, career and personal development programming, which include tailor-made #coaching and #mentoring programs.

With the support from Industriens Fond, ProWoC will also be able to develop additional initiatives that promote gender and #ethnic diversity and inclusion in the Danish workplace to the benefit of both women of color and the companies in Denmark.
