Federating women in the digital sector in a single day wasn’t enough. In 2016, JFD launches its club.
The JFD Club was born out of an observation, raised thanks to the exclusive Women’s Day 2016 study carried out in partnership with Capgemini and French Tech: 93% of the women interviewed felt that networking was a real opportunity to change and develop their careers.
An exclusive women’s network, a player in the promotion of entrepreneurship, intra-entrepreneurship and female innovation, the #JFDClub is a unique 300-square-meter space in the heart of Paris, inaugurated by Marlène Schiappa, Secretary of State Responsible for Equality between women and men, in 2017.
Supported by Delphine Ernotte, CEO France Télévisions and godmother of the club,the #JFDClub has nearly 400 members and intends to meet the demands and needs of these women by giving them the opportunity to meet, share experiences, source creativity ,innovation and finance.
The goal of the club is to promote the influence of women within organizations, to create meetings between large groups and start-ups to boost innovation, to discover the economic and social potential of digital. It runs all year round with the organization of private tours, exclusive events, cultural previews and with the highlight of Digital Women’s Day.
Renowned digital personalities are invited to each event to network, exchange, but above all to share experiences and create a strong bond.
