✨From Breakthrough Science to Breakthrough Businesses: Meet the Women Building Europe's Future✨👩🏼‍⚕️ EWVC Female Founders, October 2026 Edition

Great science does not change the world on its own. Someone has to turn it into a product, a company and a business. This issue is about the women doing exactly that. We feature six founders who took a discovery or an idea and built a company around it. Some started in a research lab. Others spotted a problem no one was solving. Three come from the EIC Women Leadership Programme, Europe’s initiative to back women. The timing matters. In 2025, European female-founded startups raised €7.5 billion, a three-year high. The opportunity is growing. So is the need for role models who show how it is done. This issue is powered by our partner Evertrace.

AI safety is usually framed as an engineering problem. It is fast becoming an ownership problem. Seed-stage startups now run with a median team of four. Data-centre spending is projected to reach the trillions. And in September, calls from top AI leaders to slow down helped rattle chip stocks. This piece connects three debates that are usually kept apart: alignment research, venture capital, and who actually gets rich. The core question is simple: as AI grows more powerful, who controls the systems, and who captures the upside?

The wrapper built for cheap beta is becoming the plumbing for private credit, uranium, defence, and AI. The next phase of ETF growth will not be judged by product launches. It will be judged by structure: liquidity engineering, valuation integrity, and who stands behind the bid when markets move. 🌪️
