Cross Border Perspective: Advancing Women Entrepreneurship

In India and Germany, women make up only 18% of the start-up founders, indicating a large gender disparity.
How can we systematically improve this imbalance at the individual, institutional, and policy levels? With insights from leaders at academic incubators, funding agencies, and start-up founders from the both the ecosystems, this session will take a holistic approach, focusing on good practices, barriers and looking at leveraging cross-border institutional cooperation to address these challenges.
Join us as we present insights and actionable strategies for advancing gender equity in deep-tech entrepreneurship.
