Post by Techstars Startup Weekend

Today is #IWD2026, and while the world reflects on progress, 30 cities are actively building the future. We are currently in the final hours of Techstars Startup Weekend Women, and the energy across the globe is breathtaking. To our incredible local organizers in: 🌍 Algeria | Australia | Brazil | Canada | China | France | India | Ireland | Madagascar | Mexico | Nigeria | Paraguay | Philippines | Portugal | Sweden | Türkiye | Thailand | USA | Yemen | Zimbabwe 🌍 Thank you for proving that supporting women’s innovation isn't a "token" gesture for a single day. You are the boots on the ground making real change happen. The Momentum Doesn’t End Tonight We designed this weekend to be a launchpad, not a finish line. To ensure the fire keeps burning, every single city winner from this weekend earns the chance to apply to pitch at the Global Startup Weekend Women Pitch Competition in May. We are dedicated to providing these founders with a bridge to long-term success, investment, and global visibility. A massive shoutout to our Platinum Sponsor, n8n. Right now, in every one of these time zones, participants are using n8n's automation power to fine-tune their MVPs. By automating the "busy work," n8n is helping these teams focus on what matters: a flawless final pitch and a scalable product. Good luck to every team stepping onto the stage today. The world is watching! 🚀 #StartupWeekendWomen #IWD2026 #Techstars #WomenInTech #GlobalInnovation #n8n #Entrepreneurship
