Allium is a multidisciplinary community whose mission is to empower
and interconnect women in the professional and personal spheres. Through
facilitating means and relations Allium enables women
to pursue their goals in life.
Who we are?

We believe in individual potentialities, and particularly in women’s
capacity to create, undertake, participate, collaborate, and lead. We also
strongly believe that women are capable of accomplishing their goals and
of passing on their potential in a way that holistically benefits society.
