About WIL Europe
The European Network for Women in Leadership (WIL Europe) is a Europe-wide non-profit dedicated to promoting and advancing the professional and social interests of women in leadership positions and aspiring female leaders across Europe.

Its activities focus on international, local and online events (including with key political and business leaders), peer-to-peer networking and the successful Women Talent Pool (WTP) leadership programme for emerging female leaders.
