𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐃𝐚𝐲! Yesterday, our project partners Theresa Neuhauser and Simona Todorova from EIT Manufacturing proudly represented Women TechEU at the 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 event in Bucharest, hosted by Innovation Norway. Theresa delivered a powerful keynote on the 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡, addressing the pressing challenges and available opportunities for women entrepreneurs. She introduced the Women TechEU programme to over 100 participants, showcasing how it empowers women-led startups in deep tech through grants, mentorship, and resources. Her key message? Women-led innovation is critical for Europe’s future. 📊 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟: 🔹 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 10% of startups in Europe are women-led, and just 2% 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 funding goes to these businesses (Boston Consulting Group, SISTA study, 2023). 🔹 Despite these challenges, startups founded by women perform an impressive 63% 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 than those led by men (European Women in VC Report, 2023). 🔹 Closing the gender gap in CEE could unlock an astonishing €146 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐃𝐏 by 2030 (McKinsey, 2021). It’s clear that women entrepreneurs are still majorly underrepresented in the European startup scene. That’s why we work to create a more gender-balanced and innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem. 💡 At Women TechEU, we believe that diversity drives innovation. Together, we can support the incredible women who are reshaping Europe’s tech and entrepreneurial landscape. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to Rannveig Solumsmoen Gimse for giving us the stage to present the project! It was a true privilege to meet Marie Rogne and Emily Martinsen from Pioneer Research, one of the four inspiring winners from Norway! #WomenTechEU #WomenInTech #Diversity #DeepTech #Entrepreneurship #GenderGap
