About alcohosxwo

Building a stronger automotive industry through the power of women's leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

Our Story

Founded in 2023, alcohosxwo emerged from a simple yet powerful observation: women in the automotive industry needed a dedicated platform to connect, support each other, and amplify their voices in a traditionally male-dominated field.

What started as informal networking gatherings among automotive professionals has grown into a comprehensive community serving women across all sectors of the industry – from engineering and manufacturing to design, marketing, and executive leadership.

Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, we've built a network that spans across Europe and beyond, creating opportunities for women to thrive in automotive careers while driving innovation and positive change in the industry.
