Zurich – Women are a competitive factor in our economies. More balanced teams create more capital efficiency, ROI and revenues. Decisions become long-term focused, hence focused on sustainability. Still there is a funding gap for women entrepreneurs.
The Female Founder Summit helps encourage more women to become entrepreneurs and also to team up with existing all-male teams, and it supports women in finding access to networks, mentors and capital.
