Europe Launches Its First Digital Power Hub for Women

Europe is set to launch a groundbreaking digital platform aimed at empowering women across the continent. Known as Belle&Yell, this innovative hub is officially opening on March 20, 2025, starting in France and Germany. The platform, established by a diverse team of five successful female entrepreneurs, seeks to provide women with resources and tools related to health, finance, career development, business, and lifestyle.

The founders of Belle&Yell recognize that women represent half of the global population yet continue to be treated as a minority. They aim to change this narrative through a platform that offers high-quality content, fosters a supportive community, and features a marketplace for products, coaching, training, and workshops tailored specifically for women.

Current statistics indicate that women face significant structural challenges, including:

• Gender Pay Gap: Women earn an average of 20% less than men worldwide.
• Pension Gap: Women receive 30% less in retirement benefits compared to men.
• Leadership Gap: Only 10% of leadership positions in major companies globally are occupied by women.
• Investment Gap: Companies led by women receive just 2% of global venture capital.

The team behind Belle&Yell emphasizes that women do not need additional motivation; rather, they require real opportunities and knowledge to overcome existing barriers. The platform aims to connect users with actionable solutions and information that can help them navigate these challenges.

Belle&Yell is built upon three core pillars:

1. Information: Providing well-researched articles, inspiring interviews, and video podcasts.
2. Marketplace: Featuring products, training, coaching, and workshops specifically designed for women.
3. Community: Facilitating exchange and support through a robust female network.

The initiative seeks to highlight and harness the power of women, establishing a digital community that is international and entirely female-focused. With over 230 million women in Europe actively using the internet, the demand for platforms that cater to female needs is rapidly increasing. It is projected that by 2028, the wealth managed by women will increase by 50%, creating new opportunities for female entrepreneurship and financial independence.

Unlike traditional networks often dominated by male alliances, Belle&Yell is designed to foster connections among women, promoting collaboration and support. This digital platform is positioned to be a significant player in the landscape of female empowerment across Europe.

Among the launch partners supporting Belle&Yell are various organizations and businesses, including Abury Foundation, Bauglück, being female, and many others, all committed to enhancing the lives and opportunities for women.
