How can we address the gender gap in entrepreneurship and fuel the growth of female-founded and gender diverse startups?
Nordic Innovation and Innovation Centre Iceland, Vinnova, Innovation Norway, Business Finland, Erhvervstyrelsen and Vækstfonden would like to invite you to participate in the webinar and a discussion on women entrepreneurship in the Nordics.
We have invited entrepreneurs who will share what measures they think are neccessary to increase the growth of women entrpreneurs and the key to succeeding as an entrepreneur.
The new study Female Entrepreneurship in the Nordics 2020 will be presented by Menon Economics. The study is looking into the current entrepreneurial landscape and the national differences you find in the Nordic countries. Menon Economics will also present suggestions for measures from the study, aiming to stimulate female entreprenuership.
We hope to inspire discussion on why this study is relevant right now and what is needed to achieve change. All attendees can send in questions to the speakers during the webinar.
