Women-led start-ups are an underused source of innovation, jobs and sustainable growth. Yet turning an idea into a viable business brings challenges, including access to funding, that can limit both their potential and their contribution to Europe’s competitiveness.
Through two founders’ journeys, this fireside chat will explore the opportunities, challenges and lessons involved in building businesses that contribute to a more sustainable economy.
The conversation will explore access to funding, as well as the decisions and support that help founders turn ideas into lasting impact. It will consider what investors, policymakers and innovation actors can do to build a more inclusive start-up ecosystem in which more women-led businesses can thrive.
