Pitch on the Main Stage

For many women, access to capital and decision-makers is the real barrier, not ambition or quality.

Pitching on the main stage at HER Conference & Awards is application-based and highly selective. From all applicants, 10 founders are selected to present live in front of leaders, investors and partners.

Selected founders may be invited to curated follow-up conversations with partners and investors after the event.

Participation requires a valid conference ticket.

What selected founders gain:

Visibility on Norway’s main stage for female leadership
Direct exposure to partners and investors
Curated follow-up beyond the event
Long-term positioning, not just a pitch moment

HER Awards: Where Female Leadership Is Recognised

"HER Conference created a strong sense of belonging while still being sharp, ambitious and relevant. The conversations were real, the people were highly competent, and I left with connections and perspectives I still act on."

Anne Wiik

"The combination of conference and awards makes HER different. It brings credibility, inspiration and momentum into the same room and the network I built there continues to create value long after the event."
