Did you know only 1 in 7* inventors in the EU are female? This stark gender gap holds back innovation and creativity, but Europe’s largest innovation network, EIT, is determined to change that.
Through initiatives like Supernovas, the EIT empowers women entrepreneurs, innovators and investors to break barriers in the technology and business fields. By fostering skills, mentorship, and access to networks, they’re proving that gender-smart innovation drives growth and resilience.
Together with the EUIPO, the EIT is tackling inequality, championing programmess like Girls Go Circular and advancing female leadership in intellectual property (IP).
Do you want to know how women are shaping the future of tech?
