Episode Synopsis "Bonus: Women's Entrepreneurship Day Panel 2020"
To celebrate Women’s Entrepreneurship Day on the 19th of November 2020, The University of Queensland (UQ) brought together an online panel of female founders and leaders to discuss their successes, some of the challenges they have faced, as well as ideas, strategies and policies that could be implemented to close the gender gap within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Check out the pannelists on this link: https://ventures.uq.edu.au/mind-the-gap As a background on the event: The Gender Gap The under-representation of female entrepreneurs in startups is well-documented, and while the recent Startup Muster report showed a slight increase in female founders in Australia in 2019 — at 22.3%, with male founders at 77.1% — there is clearly a long way to go. At UQ, we believe that the Australian higher education sector is an important pipeline that the ecosystem could tap to level the playing field and increase participation and contribution from women. UQ Ventures strives to foster the sense of community among female identifying founders, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs. Through raising the profile of women in entrepreneurship and creating opportunities for female-identifying entrepreneurs, we hope to inspire and create change.
