Around a third of companies in Sweden are started by women. At the same time, a vanishingly small part of the venture capital goes to companies with female founders and the tech world is dominated by men. Gender equality is a prerequisite for sustainable societal development and crucial for the ability to innovate. The entire population's experiences, skills and knowledge are needed to make full use of society's innovation potential.
Six of Sweden's most exciting female founders pitch in a competition before a well-known jury and two of them go to the final.
At the event, we will also get to listen to interesting people who share their experiences in interviews and panels. We are chasing the female founder of the year 2021 and the female investor of the year 2021.
Vinnova participates as a supporting partner and is on site in a digital stand to talk about innovation and financing opportunities.
