Women for Women (WfW)  Breda is the first city our mentorship program expanded to following many successful editions in Eindhoven.

Breda is a city with many strengths. Historically, its geographic location has always made it attractive to both national and international businesses, with trade and entrepreneurship at its heart. Harnessing those strengths for future prosperity is one of the challenges that the city is facing now. 
 
To forge a thriving economic ecosystem, Breda’s aims to become an international hotpot for applied technology and creativity by 2030. This new vision of Breda will need professionals to drive this ambitious future. International talent, from abroad but also those already in the city, will be a key factor in achieving this.  

Women for Women Breda came to be from this backdrop. As a growing city with a large international community, Breda recognises the importance of providing dual career opportunities, which will facilitate the city’s economic goals and its commitment to a sustainable workforce. 

The Application Process for Women for Women Breda Edition IV is open.

As with all Women for Women programs, the final invited Talents will be selected based on the professional profiles of each edition’s participating Ambassadors and their Talent requirements.
Preference will be given to applicants who are unemployed or underemployed.
Successful Talents will be asked to pay a €95 registration fee

As of May 2026, there have been three editions of the Women for Women Breda program.

Edition I (2023) was a pilot program which hosted a cohort of ten Ambassadors and Talents. Within six months of the program end, all the Talents had successfully found jobs and integrated into the local labour market. After the success of the previous edition, the number of participants for Edition II (2024) was increased to fifteen. Of which, 80% are now employed. Edition III (2025) also had 15 participants.

 Women for Women Breda Edition IV will start in September 2026 and will have fifteen Talents.
