Why Women in Innovation Matters

The Women in Innovation program goes beyond financial support; it’s a commitment to empowering female entrepreneurs to lead transformative change across industries. With only a fraction of innovation funding awarded to women, initiatives like this help bridge the gap, offering vital resources, mentorship, and visibility to amplify their impact.

For Kore Labs, led by the trailblazing Sabrina Del Prete, this grant not only funds the development of the Agentic Co-Pilot but also reinforces Sabrina’s role as a mentor and role model for women in tech. Her journey—spanning decades of leadership in financial services—is proof of the potential that is unlocked when women are supported to innovate.

A Role Model for the Future

The Women in Innovation program doesn’t just fund projects; it creates platforms for women entrepreneurs to inspire and guide the next generation. As part of her role, Sabrina will dedicate time to mentoring women from all backgrounds, sharing her expertise to nurture future innovators.
Through this initiative, Innovate UK ensures that success stories like Kore Labs inspire a diverse, inclusive pipeline of talent, fostering equity and driving meaningful change in the innovation ecosystem.

A Collective Call to Action

Programs like Women in Innovation remind us of the urgent need to champion diverse perspectives in entrepreneurship. By supporting women-led ventures, we accelerate not only technological progress but also societal change. This grant is a step toward building a more inclusive future where innovation knows no boundaries.

Venturenomix is proud to stand alongside Kore Labs and Innovate UK in driving diversity in innovation. Let’s empower more women to change the world.

“At Kore Labs we are really pushing the barriers of what is possible. Our WikiKore concept – a unified, community-curated and intelligent taxonomy for the Financial Service Industry will be game-changing. Working with Venturenomix means we have the expertise and guidance we need to secure innovation grant funding. Outstanding service and results!”
